Indoors. Everyone follows it. Always. They wear them OUTSIDE, alone, even though (as far as I can remember) we never had an outdoor mandate, unless it was a crowded event.
Even when signs came down from (some) stores, I'd say 90% still CHOSE to mask. It's unbelievable. They are zombies.
I finally got up the nerve & stopped wearing them. They make me lightheaded & panicky. Plus I can't stand lying. I was kicked out of a Family Dollar. I was called out to in Target. (But they didn't chase me & I was able to shop.) Haven't gone back since then. Grocery was okay for months, until finally a manager called out to me. But I've been back a few times & they've left me alone. Haven't seen that particular guy though. I'm always terrified. But I can't lie anymore.
Thankfully laundromat hasn't thrown me out. I don't know what I would do.
When I was wearing them, I bought one on fakemaskworldwide. Only one I could somewhat breathe through.
I flew cross country last week. 9 hours each way (1-stop). Almost never had my mask over my face. 1) While in the terminal, always hold a cup or something edible. Even while walking, where an empty cup works just fine. 2) Once on board, take out something edible and take your mask down ( I found jerky is perfect...everyone knows it takes a long time to chew it). 3) If you are not hungry, still hold the jerky but chew gum instead.....looks exactly the same. Never had a single person say a thing.
Recently moved from Seal Beach California to St George Utah.
NO mandates here.
90 percent of the people are walking around with no masks on. 100 percent of the people in the over 55 community that I live in is mask free!
The Majority of mask wearing people are being mandated by the large chain stores that employ them. Walmart, Target, Lowes, Home Depot, Ross, etc all requiring their employees to wear masks and majority of them wear them under their noses.
Austin, Texas. I have not worn a mask in over a year. I own my own business and I stayed home for two weeks last March. Been back since. After I figured out that as a 45-year-old in good shape I was not in danger to COVID. I have tested positive to COVID twice, December of last year and August of this year. I was fine both times. Both kids tested positive because of close contact at school, otherwise, we would have not known they had it. For most healthy Americans COVID is no more a threat than the flu. As you know. I am pleasantly surprised that liberal Austin has not freaked out for the most part unless you read the post on NEXTDOORNEIGHBOR.com. Even Uber drivers don't require mask. I make absolutely no effort to avoid COVID. I am living as normally as I did before 2020. My family is the same.
Douglas County CO (Castle Rock) - No mandates at all except for "recommendations" that Un-vaccinated wear a mask. However that is different for schools. There has been quite a battle here in DC over mask mandates in Schools. Back in Sept, Tri-County Health Dept (TCHD) (who is(was) the health dept for Douglas, Adams and Arapahoe counties) issued a mask mandate for K-12 schools (students and teachers) regardless of vaccination status. Douglas County promptly opted out. A few weeks later TCHD updated their mandate to disallow opt outs. So Douglas County declared a breach of contract, exited TCHD and setup their own health board (in a matter of 1-2 weeks). They then issued a health order that allowed parents to exempt their children. The DC school board (rather woke about COVID) issued a lawsuit asking for an injunction against the order. That was granted by the Courts. Election last tuesday has four new conservative school board members coming in (making it a 4-3 majority now for conservatives). Expect the mask mandate by the School system will get reversed. Meanwhile, the lawsuit is still ongoing between the newly created DC health dept and the DC school board. Crazy times.
Tempe, AZ. Mask mandate? Who knows at this point? The mayor attempted a mask mandate last year, but rebels continued without. Only about 30% or so of people wear them now it seems, and way too many service employees are forced to wear them. ASU students must wear them in the classroom, but nobody wears them walking around campus.
As for cheating, none whatsoever by me. I do not fly while fascist policies are in place in airlines. And I demanded and received a full refund in spring 2020, because I had bought a round-trip prior to mask tyranny policy. I do not put on a mask for anyone or any institution that demands it. The fact that no human and no human institution has the right to obstruct the breathing of any other human at any time under any circumstances whatsoever is very, very basic human rights. If that is the hill I die on, then so be it.
Winter Haven FL. Florida is very odd when it comes to masks. You would think that in a state that's had no mandates since September 2020 (!), no one would bother with masks. You'd be wrong. In my town, masking is VERY heavy in supermarkets. A solid majority still masked. 15 miles west in Lakeland, FL, nary a mask to be seen. At my favorite coffee shop here in town no one wears a mask. At the Home Depot around the corner it's maskedonium. Orlando, likewise, is mask hell. Up in the panhandle, they don't know what a mask is 😷😁
Live in South Alabama. Only time I see masks are required places like doctors' offices and hospitals. My kids' school took away the mandate about 3 weeks ago. Overnight, every single mask disappeared from the school. Of course no changes in cases since that happened (school hasn't had a case since mid-September. Other than not enough workers in stores and restaurants these days, everything is about as normal as it was in 2019 days.
Most don’t wear masks, they are recommended but not mandated indoors except in schools. I don’t know how vigilant the schools are about kids wearing them correctly however. School sporting events that are inside require a mask to enter but once inside only about a third wear it correctly, the rest have it under the nose or chin or completely off.
I rarely wore a mask even when it was mandated except in medical/dental offices. I carry a supply of clean disposable surgical masks but when we were in full mask wearing mode i invested in a few made from that “Nike-type” material that is festooned with itsy bitsy holes not visible to a casual observer but if held up the light is simply perforated with millions of holes! I knew from day one that masks were a useless, virtue-signaling prop.
1. Jackson County, MO, in a suburb of Kansas City. 2. Mish-mash city. MO is a red state, only shut down for a few weeks and never had a statewide mandate for masks. BUT each municipality got to do what it wanted. Jackson County is one of only 3 blue counties in the state. At first 5-6 of the KC metro counties worked together, so rules were uniform. That did not last long, and one by one the counties have dropped the mandates, EXCEPT Jackson. MO legislature did pass a law last session that says any covid restrictions must be voted on by an elected body every 30 days (so health depts no longer get singular power). Of course they are in cahoots and Jackson County continues to vote to keep the mandate. DESPITE 20 of us speaking before the last vote against the masks (and one lonely speaker in favor of masks). 3. Reality: mask mandate dropped in the spring, then reinstated in August. By then, a lot of us were just 'DONE' - we have 2 choices - ignore the mandate, and go about our business, or take our business to nearby counties. Personally doing an 'all of the above'. Only 2 businesses (outside of medical offices) have yelled at me to put on a mask (both corporate chains) Doing a lot more business outside the county, although do feel bad for the mom and pop places, since they are stuck. Health dept comes down hard on the little guys and gives big chains a pass. Amazingly, though, most people are following the rules in my town, went in the grocery store to pick up a few things last night and only saw one other person not wearing a mask. (but a lot wearing them badly, like with their noses out, and several employees had them on their chins)
SC, no mandates. Okay people that are still wearing masks are vaccinated leftists. Life is normal. Witnessed identical situation in Nashville 10 days ago.

1. North Hollywood Los Angeles
2. Indoor mandate
3. People are still walking alone outside in masks like it's March 2020. Send help.
Seattle area. 100% mask mandate in place for months now. I am usually the only person without a mask when I go out shopping or to restaurants.
Fort Myers FL, no mask mandates except medical facilities, we’ve been open and living free for months. Thank you Ron! #freedom

Mask mandate in place basically everywhere indoors.
Compliance continues at about 98%
Intolerance to people not wearing masks is actually getting worse. That said, I've never worn one yet and still surviving.

Portland, OR- indoor AND outdoor mask mandate fully in effect- CRAZY TOWN (only state in the country with outdoor mask mandate- yay)
SC, no mandates. Okay people that are still wearing masks are vaccinated leftists. Life is normal. Witnessed identical situation in Nashville 10 days ago.
