I haven't worn a mask since this mandate was lifted. I made a trip to my local Bath and Body Works and she wouldn't let me in the store because I was unmasked. She did offer me one of their masks, I turned around and left. I was planning on making a big purchase, too bad.

I will continue to wear a mask in many places....grocery stores, big box stores, malls. The one thing that I know from the last year is that it's impossible to trust too many people to do the right thing about covid. I have downsized my mask....from KN95 to a 3-layer cloth mask though.
This week, I went to lunch with friends that I haven't seen in a year. We were all vaccinated and the restaurant spaced tables. I was comfortable without a mask while we ate and talked.

I think many businesses are goung to be constantly evaluating their mask policies. As mandates are dropped it all becomes about the customers and profits. It is never a good business practice to turn away customers.

When I attempt to go into a store and they definitely won't let me in without the mask I just say thank you and walk out. Sephora was one that would not let my sister and me in so we walked away and went to another store and bought what we needed

@Kmac444 I'm curious, how do you know all those that are unmasked are unvaccinated? Also how do you know that they were not survivers of having covid and now have the antibodies (which a medical fact is natural immunity is a far better thing)? If you are vaccinated you can still get the virus the only difference is you will most likely not know. You will have little to no symptoms. And you can still spred it, the vaccine does not mitigate transmission.
The overwhelming odds of surviving Covid far outpace the need for a mandatory vaccination. The numbers of deaths are coming down rapidly at a consistent clip. The basic fact remains that never was the entire population at a risk of the severest of side effects from this virus, or even having effects if they got it, and it remains 99% survivable and yet they want everyone to take an emergency vaccine, for which there is no recourse for anything that happens to you from it.
Not all Americans are at the same risk of dying from COVID-19. Some are at relatively high risk which we know are the old and the sick. They might want to get vaccinated, and most do. Some are at very low risk of dying: the young and the healthy. Others appear to be at essentially no risk at all: anyone who has had COVID and recovered. . That's true for many viruses. Those second two categories — the young and healthy, and the previously infected — may add up to hundreds of millions of people in this country.
It has been demanded that 70 percent of all American adults — regardless of age, regardless of health condition, regardless of pre-existing antibodies — get the COVID shot by the Fourth of July or else but it always was the most severest outcome (death) from this virus was felt by the 65 and older crowd never the young and healthy. You can't have a virus that was so contagious, that some of people believed would leap on you as soon as you left your house or breathed air in a Walmart and not have millions and millions get it. And if that is true than a whole lot of our population had it and survived and have antibodies.
Fact is you are a danger even if you get the vaccine. Because your symptoms are lowered to the point of being asymptomatic and yes you can still spread it. The vaccine in no way stops transmission if you get it. Fact is you will most likely not know if you get it and have been vaccinated and THAT is the purpose. So we ALL get the virus with little to no symptoms and then we will all have antibodies. Not all masks offer the same protection period. The vaccine is basically for those who are more at risk of the severest effects (dying) but allows them to still get the virus and wind up with antibodies and never know it happened. .

That is your opinion.
No, it's actually science.
Who makes the decision that those fully vaccinated go without masks?
We don't even know if they are immune, or for how long?
No one can definitively say because there have been no long term studies.
If you don't need a mask now, you didn't need one then because the risk is still there, vaccinations or not
Also, what about people who have survived Covid, they are probably more immune than those who have been vaccinated, why should they have to wear a mask?
Believe the science. Wear a mask or not but do it out of your own free will

@Imaoldhippie. That's not correct. Someone posted on another thread here last night that she and her husband just got Covid, they're not vaccinated and haven't been wearing masks. If you're NOT vaccinated, masks are the only thing that will protect you if you're exposed.
You are making an uncorrelated scientific opinion.
A skimpy, poorly fitting mask makes you vulnerable as well.

You also have people who have worn masks that got covid....people who have been vaccinated who have gotten covid. There is no proof one way or the other, only opinions. Do what you think is best for you.
Those are all YOUR opinions, statistics don't back up anything you're saying.
Most vaccinated people have NOT gottenCovid and masks DO protect, that why doctors and nurses haveworn them in surgery hundreds of years.
If the lawsays you need to wear a mask if you're unvaccinated, wear a mask.
doctors & nurses in surgery wear a mask primarily to avoid fluid contamination, such as blood, saliva, etc. The air flow in an operating room exchanges very quickly & the filtration is is like nothing you have in your home. The air is clear and free of anything airborne

The purpose of the vaccine is for all the mask wears that didn't get the virus can get it with little to no symptoms and then have natural immunity (antibodies). It doesn't mitigate transmission-so you can still get the virus, never know it and pass it on. It's so those that were at the highest risk of the severest outcomes from the virus, can actually get the virus and survive now with the antibodies. Hundreds of millions, the young and healthy that got the virus (and never knew it) and those that got through their symptoms carry the antibodies already. They just need the rest of you to get it and survive and that is the vaccine purpose. You will get the virus, survive and have the antibodies. And that is why the mask mandates no longer matter. You are supposed to get the virus so you can get the antibodies. With the vaccine this allows those that were at the highest risk to get the virus and survive just fine.

@ID2 The masks are not the most comfortable to wear, but I always have one with me and do respect places thsat suggest and ask that you wear a mask to enter. Smaller stores or crowded ones, like BB&B, Sam's, etc. I do feel more comfortable with the mask on.
