So California lifted its mask mandate yesterday. I was kind of looking forward to finally going

maskless..When I went shopping at Trader Joe’s and Target, every single person I saw was wearing a mask. So I put mine on. Nothing like a little social pressure. I ran out to Home Depot this morning. I saw a few maskless “construction guys”, but most were wearing masks. I think people are going to be reluctant to give up their masks for some time to come. I wonder wat others are seeing?

1. I saw a mixture of masks v un-masked.

I think it might depend on the store. I haven't been in my Ralphs, but my understanding is that I can go maskless if I want to.

My local meat market is allowing people to come in without masks. So I did. It felt good!

Today I have an order to pick up at a local bakery; I'll see what they're doing.

I always plan to carry the mask with me, just in case.

2. The San Francisco hardware store I work in is still masked.

3. Are you in Noe Valley?

Not too many hardware stores in the City.

14. I live on 25th between Mission and Valencia. My store is Discount Builders Supply, at

Mission and 13th. It is the last of the old Goodmans Lumber stores.

I used to do business at Tuggies hardware in Noe Valley. It was a loss to the community when he retired and went out of business. My son went to school right there at Saint Philips.

16. Heart of the Mission...I used to live in Noe Valley before I moved south

4. the goal is to get rid of Covid

not just the ability to go maskless

I am staying masked - I see the usual maskholes who don't care or care only about themselves.

5. Really? Thanks for clarifying. I thought the goal,was just to just not wear masks.

Thanks for clarifying!🤪

7. people delieriously happy over not masking seem to forget

the ones I know certainly do

12. I'm not deliriously happy and I'm scared as shit of all the new variants. But I would be lying if I

Said I wasn’t sick of masks. I will probably continue on. Wat I am deliriously happpy about is eating in restaurants. Something I’ve done 4 times in the past 18 months.

8. unvaccinated are keeping Covid front and center

Until everyone is vaccinated, we will have Covid.

9. a lot of people don't seem to get it

we are not really safe until everyone is safe

6. Mostly still masked

I did Trader Joe's and Costco runs and I was one of a few people unmasked. Sonoma County has had more cases in the last week, that may be making people more cautious. As everywhere, almost all new cases are unvaccinated people.
It was wonderful to not wear the damn mask

10. I was happy to see people continuing to wear masks.. It made me feel oddly proud of my state.

After hearing about ant-maskers and people going batshit for being asked to wear them. People have even gotten killed for enforcing mask mandates. I would guess the mask situation in parts of SoCal and the Central Valley might be completely different, but the Bay Area is good with it.

11. if the workers are masked...I'll be masked...

[Dream Girl]

13. Probably a good rule of thumb.

15. Why take the chance of someone confronting you and screaming "maskhole !"
