Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

The mask mandate got dropped this past week at my church, as well as other businesses I visit. Since then, I caught a nasty sinus infection. I got both COVID vaccinations, but it's good to remember that masks don't just help slow the spread of COVID, but cold/flu viruses as well.

Reopening anxiety is also hitting. I kept my mask off for a grand total of 10 minutes in a grocery store, but it made me way too nervous to not wear it. Shucks.

NYT has a very good article about reopening anxiety.

I haven't had as much as a cold in the past 16 months. I will continue to mask in public places.

businesses around here have mask policy posted at the front door. Some have it optional, others say vaccinated need not mask, some still require all to mask

Much/most of NJ is unmasked. This is 'Doctor week'. I have been to the Dermatologist, General Practitioner, and Dentist - all are still requiring masks. No problems with me.

will have mask ready for all indoor crowded areas for quite a while yet!

I still get the giggles at the sign at my Bank that 'requires' a mask to enter.

I wear a bandana into the bank, just missing the Colt.

I agree, I plan on wearing a mask anytime I am around people coughing

Me too.

Mine requires sunglasses also.
