[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8663007, member: 4348"] I saw more from the Northeast, but there were still a lot of people who weren't wearing them. Better than other places (Some places in California are better TBH, many places are worse), but I wouldn't exactly say most are going out of their way to wear masks from there either. The airports literally had very few wearing any masks at all. Of course, those who are really truly serious probably are also avoiding certain places and areas (such as air travel), and the areas they go to probably do have a higher prevalence of masks. For the most part though, even in the Northeast, I saw most not wearing masks unless they had to. Maybe it was just the areas I frequented, but I wore a mask like my life depended on it. Nobody accosted me for wearing one though, that was good. I wore N94's and KN95's throughout, on retrospect I maybe should have worn the N100 (we call it the Darth Vader mask, though it only covers the lower half of the face, and has air filters). As I said, with few exceptions, unless forced to, I saw very few wearing masks. I didn't go to many grocery stores though, or movie theaters, so I couldn't tell you on what those look like. Restuarants, tourist attractions, and travel resources (cabs, planes, etc), almost no one wore masks no matter where I was in the US at the time. NOW, depending on where I was DID seem to determine if the WORKERS were wearing masks. Far more in the Northeast and West Coast were wearing masks than other places. In other locations not even the workers were wearing masks or social distancing. I'm hoping I didn't get stuff while travelling, but I will have to wait and see. Hopefully I don't (crossing my fingers). It could have been a BIG mistake to travel. I set up my travel plans when Covid-19 cases were going down greatly and spent over 10K on expenses to prepay the way (so was reluctant to give that up). With the new variants hitting the US...it probably wasn't the best idea to follow through with those plans though. [/QUOTE]
