A lot of states never locked down and didn't have mask mandates or variable mask mandates at the state level. Even when the states relaxed their COVID mandates, many of the businesses still required masks.
I was just in FL for 10 days. It was hit or miss outside. Some people wore masks, others did not. Pretty much 100% of the businesses still require masks to be in the store. Restaurants were the same, masks on until you get seated, then you can take them off.
- dehrmann 6y ago> It was hit or miss outside Have any studies shown the effectivenes of masks outdoors? I know a lot have found the virus spreads poorly outdoors, so this difference probably isn't a big factor in the spread.
- clairity 6y agolet’s stop talking about masks because they’re at best a minor mitigation for the public, but a major mediopolitical leverage point, and thus an unworthy diversion. wear them indoors when near non-household members for extended periods, but otherwise mind your distance indoors and we’re all good. service workers and certain professions like healthcare will already have the necessary masking rules that we don’t need to keep talking about it for that reason either.
