What is your opinion on wearing masks now or not?

Yes, I am fully vaccinated. I have also done a recent overnight trip with a bus tour company this past week. Most everyone wore masks the entire time except for one RUDE couple.

Personally, I will continue wearing them in stores and in crowds.

I feel a big wave of cold viruses coming upon us- since most have been "cold free" for at least a year-

I don't want to get any kind of cold again.

Also, the varients- is there enough information out there that we are well protected from any and ALL varients of Covid 19 that are out there? I am in the wait and see group....

We have just come out of wearing a mask mandate

It only lasted 3 weeks ,I'm very proud of my fellow West Australians, everyone  compiled.

We are still virus free here,we keep having "scares" the quarantining of returning Australians for 2 weeks seems to work well , however human errors occur, wearing a mask is a pain in the ass so I sympathize if you have to wear one for months on end.

If I lived in the USA or anywhere else with the India variant out there ,

I would still wear one,if only to encourage others to do so ,and if anyone abused me for wearing one ,I'd tell them to "F"off, it's your choice,you have rights aswell.......

It's not over by a long way yet.

It's the fault of the  Dumb virus denies,that this pandemic has gotten this out of control.

Take care all 😷😉

Here in NL (NetherLands) you do not have to wear a mask outdoors, but when you go indoors it is (still) mandatory...Some other countries also have mandatory outdoor mask wearing...

I choose to "try to feel safe"...so if government would tell you do need to wear a mask I look at regional data...If there are NO new cases for days where I live I would stop wearing that mask if it felt like I was the only one still wearing one...but maybe also go to shops less...

I think the India-variant has a real risk of becoming another problem-variant. For the US mask getting not mandatory (if you are fully vaccinated-but who will check on that ?) now is much to early...In most places less then 50% of the people did get vaccinated in the US and yes-the variants are increasing, younger people spreading the virus...Wrong decision by the US gevernment...
