Corona - what does help you? Your fears, thoughts, everything
Front-Ranger:
I was out and about early today because the weather was forecast to be hot. I wanted to get maintenance work done early at my rental house. There seemed to be people walking or standing around, even at noon when I went out again. The renters seemed to be hanging out at home.
I stopped for a chai and forgot to specify iced, but the hot chai still tasted good and the lady at the kiosk really appreciated my business. With tip, it was $7. Later, I bought a smoothie at the corner store. Another lady wearing a mask. Another $7.
The rental has three lawn areas, front, middle and back. We had such a wet spring and early summer that it has become very overgrown. I cleared the middle yard and only stubbins are left. I sodded the back yard early this year and it has never been mowed. I mowed it and watered. The grass seemed very appreciative. The good thing about manual labor is you can see the results. And there are no people to get in the way.
So now I feel I have done a full day's work, and it's not even 3 pm! This post was supposed to be about the corona virus, but it turned in a different direction. That happens sometimes!

I'm starting to see more and more people without masks, which I'm baffled about, since the numbers are going up again.
I still wear my mask when I go into any type of business.

I haven't worn a mask since late May. If I go into a grocery store or something, I'll inevitably see a few people in masks and everybody else maskless, including most employees.
The vaccination rate in MN is 70%, so that might be part of the reason.
I take that back -- I just googled and saw a list that said the vaccination rate in MN is 53.5% -- lower than NJ's 57.7%. I'm not sure where I heard that 70% figure.

I don't like the way this is starting to sound.
CellarDweller:
I don't care what others are doing, I still wear my mask when I go into places. The only place I don't is the office, there are so few of us there, and we're so spread out, and the company tracks who is vaxxed or not.
However, when I leave the office and go into the general hallways, I wear my mask.
