Ifeel so bad for their employees.
I bet they had this ready for the end of federal recognition for the pandemic to pull this shit.

It's been really nice recently connecting with more ppl who are still masking and invested in preventing the spread of covid.

If you still mask, do ppl around you give you shit about it?

Lol i assume nothing has been done to improve air quality. That costs money. I do notice increases of abcenses. During the spring a bunch of people were out sick. It seems only one person bothered to test and it was covid.

If you're into aesthetics, you can get masks in all different types of colors.

Have you ever had difficulty with getting secure fits for the masks you wear?

[invisiblegirlx]

I wore black kn95 masks and adjusted the loops for a tighter fit. I stopped cause I felt comfortable to do so during the summer. When flu season kicks up again I might mask up again.

Sometimes people look at me strange but no one really says anything to me. Honestly kinda surprising since I’m in a red area but I’m glad people are minding their own business for now.

Same

I'm glad they leave you alone. My understanding is some of those losers think that ppl still wearing it have recently tested positive lolol.

If that keeps them away, I'll take it haha

Yeh someone asked me if I was wearing it bc I had covid.. Very loudly in a supermarket. I was just like 'uh no' and then she was like 'ooohh I'm at risk too! So I wear a mask too! she wasn't wearing one but then pulls it out of her pocket for me to look at I guess. Idk it was so weird, I just ran away from her after that.

I kept masking until the last 2 weeks. It's too hot to wear one and my nose is blocked from allergies. I'm back to masking this week because China might be fudging their death and hospitalization numbers; considering it's still tourist season, it's probably safer to keep wearing it.

Idk if it's cuz I got so use to it but it felt weird to go out without a mask especially when I'm feeling anti-social but need to get errands done.

lol I wear a mask to keep my nose being blocked by allergies!

[pseudonygma]

Same! My allergies have never been better than the past 2 years because of having to wear a mask but it might be a combination of allergies + smog + record breaking heat that I can't breathe at all with a mask in those few days where it was really hot. The temperature's more tolerable now so I think I'm keeping my mask on until maybe October when tourist season is really over.

my coworkers are so used to me wearing a black mask that when i switch to blue or white they're like ???? why are you wearing a mask, are you sick?? it's very weird lol

at this point no one says anything to me and i haven't had any issues out in public.

i still mask up here in texas, and no one's given me shit about it. granted, i live in one of the more liberal neighborhoods in a blue city.

I live in an unfortunately conservative (less so than when I was growing up but still) area on the west side of WA and I’ve been surprised by the fact that no one’s said anything.

If someone did if probably just say something like “It’s because I’m dying” and give them a hard look.

I grew up in a smaller city in WA and they haven’t been consistently masking there in ages. People in Seattle and the King County metro area have stopped wearing them recently.I rode mass transit for the first time since Feb. 2020 today and I think there was less than ten folks masking up (and I’m counting all of my friends who walked back to the link station with me tonight). I wasn’t excited about wearing a mask in this weather but I’d rather be sweaty than catch COVID.
