To mask or not to mask....That is the question. Part II

Amen!

It’s just ironic to hear our government give guidelines in order to celebrate a day we gained our independence from tyrants.

Yup and even if they recommend no get togethers you can guarantee it just means for us peasants. They'll surely be out enjoying themselves

I went to Kroger today and totally spaced my mask. I'm in Marion County, so the "mandate" is still in effect and I've been wearing mine in stores. I got all the way to the check out line (had my stuff on the conveyor belt) before I even realized it. It's never felt so weird to be "normal". Nobody said anything though. Well, one guy said, "Right on brother!" as I was walking in, but I think that was just because I was open carrying.

Haven't worn a mask thru all of this but its nice to see people finally shedding them. Most of the places up my way have switched their signs from "mask required" to "mask recommended" or have gotten rid of the signs altogether

Well, like I said, in Marion County they're still required, but it was weird feeling suddenly self-conscious about being "normal".

Maybe Menards will wake up and join the rest? Hopefully sooner than later.

Haven't been there since the first time they installed they're draconian policies. (Not just masks, but the whole no kids allowed thing) I was shocked though to see today that walmart removed all signage on masks @ the Portage location

Open carrying with no mask?!? What a rebel!

Walmart in lebanon had no signage. Over half the store maskleas. It was nice.

Well, maybe no one said anything about your maskless face BECAUSE you were open carrying.

Where are all the environmental Karen’s screaming about impact from used masks discarded in the streets? Seems to me this is way worse than plastic straws, and plastic bottles!

Right, there are estimates that there are 1.5 Billion masks in the oceans from 2020 alone.

Aren't most of the surgical masks cotton or paper?

I had no idea the numbers were anywhere near that, but based on casual observations I would have no issue seeing that as a realistic estimate.

No, they are spun plastic.

Around here the stained AOC cloth model appears to be quite popular. They seem to be on par with discarded cigarette butts.
