Fully vaccinated or not, many workers are still required to wear a mask in the workplace. We can do a small thing to signal our solidarity with other workers, even if they don’t recognize it.

I tried going without a mask at Costco today but felt crappy when I looked around and all the workers still are required to wear them. I felt better and more connected to my fellow workers once I put it back on.

      Florida flat out dropped reporting daily numbers June 4th despite still having 1700 new cases a day. All the theme parks have gone mask free for vaxxed without being able to ask for proof.

          Oh and almost all the counties have made school masks voluntary. We're gonna be fine, I'm sure.

        My friends from Florida are all like "no one wears masks and nothing was shut down". I don't now how true that is, but OMG.

          We've been out of lockdown for a year now. And depending on what areas (red, heavy trump country) you were in, the sight of masks could already be pretty scarce. Now that masking is almost entirely voluntary, it's definitely 50%ish or below even in blue areas, and I'm occasionally getting dirty looks when I wear one out in red areas.

      1. Limit time indoors around heavily breathing people

      2. Ventilate indoor places if possible.

      3. Wear masks indoors

      4. Keep the 6-foot distance

      Pretty much in that order. Form pods of people you interact with regularly so you can not kill your social/emotional well-being.

      on top of people having been talking for 2-3 months now about needing a 3rd shot of the current vaccines!

      huh, I hadn't heard that yet
