Oh, Happy Day

Here we are fully vaccinated wearing masks like we've done something wrong Seeing a good friend without a mask at the super nudging him lightly to put one on Read the sign, he says, it's ok now

Makes me appreciate out tiny little Island about 81% of the population have been vaccinated, we have 2 isolated covid cases and life is pretty much back to normal. i still wear a mask when i visit mum and we have to wear them if we go to medical/ dental type appointment but on the whole few people wear them outdoors now its all down to personal choice:-) hugs Jan xx

well said, gershon! i've relaxed my mask-wearing outdoors but wouldn't think of going inside anyplace without one. in my building, we just got a notice that we must still wear masks in any common areas (lobby, hallways, elevators, laundry room) and i'm glad about it...

Authentic Gershon, the other day, I was pleased to see the map that was almost entirely red, indicating the seriousness of the pandemic, going from nearly red to nearly greenish. Nevertheless, we must take precautions and wear protective masks while we are out in the crowd.

Ah, perhaps so, G.W. I've had all my shots, but I'm still wearing a mask in stores, restaurants, etc. One cannot be too careful because so many folks are resisting the vaccine. Truly, IDK, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Good for you, Milt. The good news is that mandates are disappearing, and each person can choose the best course for him or herself.... And actually, my M.O. right now is about like yours. In most stores, I'm still masked, although I don't like it much. Better safe than sorry... :) gw
