Just curious . Areyou Still wearing one or have you seen a lot of people wearing them?  I noticed in some stores people still have them on.

[THEY CallMe Mr Wilkes]

I see them everyday, particularly on the subways.

I'd say about 10%-20% of passengers seem to use them.  I do if the car I'm in is crowded.

I see very few people wearing them...me?  No. NEVER AGAIN.

[Sooner]

Yes we do.  To many friends who don't coming down with Covid.  Some people can afford the risk, some have issues and can't.  Some people are tolerant of what others need to do, some aren't.

I still wear one in stores and other public places where I might be close to other people.  I'm what you might call "vulnerable". 

[SilleeMee]

Sometimes I do but now that the flu season is nearly over (end of May according to the CDC) I won't be wearing them.

No. I ditched my mask a year ago. They aren't required anymore, even in medical facilities. Occasionally I see people wearing a mask, but almost nobody does.

I only wear them at doctors' offices.

Still wearing because my immune system is compromised AND because I follow all the latest data on long Covid, which is more and more frequent, with no treatment.

So if I'm in the grocery, at the post office, at the bank, mask on.

I am also the one keeping 6 feet between me and the next in line, especially since that person is often not wearing a mask.

(Not teaching this quarter, so no issue in the classroom until September.)

[Caaareful Shopper]

I see about 20% of shoppers in my grocery stores, Target, etc. still wearing masks here.

I don't, unless:

• I'm on public transportation like Amtrak going to NY and then on the subway.

• Visiting my mom & sister at their senior living apartment development.  About 70% of the seniors there still wear them there, and I want them comfortable.
