I wear a mask.

I do not eat in restaurants (have gone to the pick up your online order rack).

I work in an office that does not require masks but we have enough people who work on government contracts that virtually everyone is vaccinate (most still working from home). I wear a mask anytime away form my cube.

Can't see it stopping anytime soon and given this article about long covid


I will continue to do everything I can to keep avoiding it.

It’s just second nature at this point. I don’t wear it at work though.

The most maskless I've gotten (and that's only recently) is pulling it down to take a drink from my water bottle straw, walking in uncrowded areas at Longwood Gardens, or pulling it down to be a 'chin diaper' if I'm bowling on isolated lanes (nobody else around for 4 lanes or more).

Univ of Delaware has reinstated their mandatory indoor masking policy. They are not enforcing masking for outdoor graduation (where Biden is speaking this weekend). They are expecting 20k people to attend. I'm still working from home and still masking, so it doesn't affect me much unless I have to go on campus. Various entities in the state are encouraging mask wearing again. My husband and I are performing in a Memorial Day concert (we sing in a chorale) this Sunday. All singers will be in N95's with an exception for individuals when they are performing solos, masking for the audience and orchestra (for now) is optional, but will change if the venue's rules change. UD reported 166 COVID-19 cases last week, a roughly 170 percent increase from a month earlier.
