The legal mandates ended here earlier in the month and while I still carry one in my pocket, I have not worn one since. If I went somewhere where the business owner or the law still required one, I'd put it on. I'm fully vaccinated.

I'm shocked so many voted no here. Its an obvious yes for me.

I'm vaccinated.  The CDC announced that anyone who is fully vaccinated can go maskless indoors.  Masks are slightly unpleasant.

It's an obvious no for me.

:yes:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I stil feel a bit odd walking into store and not masking up, but that's just because of residual Pavlovian conditioning.

Nope.  I still carry my mask but the only place I've worn it lately is Jersey Mike's (sub shop) because for some odd reason they are still mandating them, but nowhere else around here is that I know of.

Yes, Korea has been making progress on the vaccines, but still is nowhere near vacced enough to discard masks.

I don't really wear one regularly but Quebec's indoor mask mandate remains in place. I expect it will last thru the fall.

Same as Otto; I have a mask in my shirt pocket with me at all times, but I only wear it where I'm required.  By now it's essentially only required in mass transit.  When the mask mandate was lifted, many stores initially had very passive aggressive "you don't have to wear a mask, but if you're not an asshole, you will" signs, but within a week they were replaced with "you're welcome to not wear a mask if you're vaccinated" signs.

Yes, I live in a largely urban area so it's kind of difficult to keep social distancing all the time.

I'm working from home so that doesn't apply and when going shopping it's mandatory inside.

When we go for a walk during the weekend I remove it outside if there's no one around.

I still wear a mask in accordance with the rules and expect to stop wearing one the moemnt the rules change on the 19th.

I don't think I would have coped well if the rules had ever included wearing a mask outdoors; too stupid.

We never had much of an outdoors mask mandate. You were supposed to wear one if minimum distancing couldn't be maintained, but outside of a few occurrences (demonstrations, young folk partying in public spaces) it was rarely enforced. There was briefly a mask mandate in a few public areas in Vienna, but those were locations where young people hung at night to party.

Tonight, clubs are re-opening at 75% capacity. Patrons need to be either tested or vaccinated or recently recovered from Covid. There will be no distancing or mask requirements in clubs.

I do recall that early on it was encouraged so that people would be less inclined to constantly fiddle with them / accidentally transfer covid from surfaces to their mouths via their hands.

No.

I'm fully vaccinated and there's no legal requirement. I sometimes still check my pocket for a mask when entering a store.
