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.

    I'm really disappointed how quickly it has almost become socially unacceptable to keep wearing mask.

    I wanted to see it totally normalized like an east Asia. Not just because to would be good for public health but I enjoy the anonymity when I'm at the grocery or just doing other random stuff

      It's definitely a regional thing. I live in new donk city and even now at least half of people(depending on the neighborhood) wear masks outside. Inside it's like 80-90%

      I visited my family on the west coast recently post vaxx(desert part) and it blew my fucking mind how different it is. The delta variant is about to kill so many people and no one seems to see what's coming

        Yeah I'm starting to wonder if we'll have another lockdown.

        I think probably not, I don't think people will want one no matter how bad it gets. I think the summer might be ok, last summer was even without vaccines, but next fall will be bad.

        I wonder how the media will cover it. Now the daddy joe and the vaccine has saved us I wonder if they'll keep being dismissive of it no matter how bad it gets again
