Ditto. The percentage of shoppers I see wearing masks in stores is far lower than the percentage of fully vaccinated people in my county. Therefore it seems highly likely that at least some of those unmasked shoppers are unvaccinated.

The only way out of this mess is to vaccinate. Should vaccination be made mandatory? I don't know. There would be an awful hullabaloo in that case, I'm afraid.

If Covid keeps spreading rapidly among the unvaccinated, maybe we will eventually reach herd immunity?
For now, I intend to keep wearing a mask in public. I know it's not as helpful to me as having the unvaccinated wear masks, but I don't have control over what those people do. If my wearing a mask provides me any protection I will keep wearing it. I'm fully vaccinated but I don't want to get one of those breakthrough infections I keep hearing about in the news. What if I unknowingly spread it to someone more vulnerable? I don't want to be that person.
