Huh. This feels odd. There’s still a mask mandate in my town, but is it time to go barefaced when I venture elsewhere?

In most parts of the USA now, if you are not vaccinated you are that way by choice. There are of course exceptions to this, and there always will be. But generally speaking, people have been allowed to make their choice, and they have done so (in the USA, but not necessarily true in other countries).
So it's time to get rid of the masks. I have no interest in wearing a mask to protect those that have chosen to remain unprotected. They have made their choice - that's the way it should be - and I will gladly honor their choice. Now, goodbye to masks, social distancing and capacity limits. All of it. I would give it two more weeks for the late comers to change their minds, but then all restrictions should cease. Let the chips fall where they may.
