Fully vaccinated adults can now go outside without a mask

Maybe we should just paint a big, red ‘V’ on everyone.  

awesome but I'll continue to mask around non-household people for the time being

I put my mask on when I get close to the store, or to someone else walking in the parking lot.  But if I'm just 'out and about'  I don't wear a mask, either. 

(is 'masking outside' a state-by-state thing?  I'm in AZ.)

I'm fully vaccinated but I still prefer to wear a mask. I feel like it gives others who are concerned some peace of mind and it's just a courtesy thing at this point. I wear a mask 10+ hours a day, so it's really a non-issue. I'm just used to it.

I go on a walk with my son every day and did the same while I was pregnant and don’t go out without a mask. I live in a densely populated part of the city and pass lots of people on narrow sidewalks, I prefer to be masked up. I look forward to being able to walk without one soon, I’m one shot down. I’ll carry my vaccine card with my everywhere to prove I’m vaccinated if I have to.

I’ll wear my mask as long as I can. Some people simply refuse to stay ‘social distanced’ and in my experience the same people are less likely to get vaccinated.

I would think after a year if this total strangers would not insist on being a close talker up in my face!

I run and hike every day and have been masking - I’m super excited to not have to do that anymore - get my second vaccine tomorrow! ❤️

Ditto

Thank you!   I appreciate that, and I still prefer to wear a mask too.  I admit it did take me a few weeks to get used to wearing them when I started wearing them a year ago.  But I'm so used to it now. 

When we take our daily walks, we don't mask. Pretty much everyone steers clear of other people.

When we went to Carmel last August we were dismayed to see a big sign that said you would be fined $100 if not wearing a mask outside. I love walking up and down the streets of Carmel to look at the architecture so that put somewhat of a damper on our 4 day visit. However, you were allowed on the beach without a mask. But you could only walk, you couldn't sit on the sand. I think Monterey County went a tad overboard with their restrictions but we escaped the smoke and 100 degree temps back in our area.

Ugh. We wear masks outside to watch dd’s softball (Coaches, umps, players all fully masked). Generally everyone sits a bit apart, and the parents all mask to support the players. My mother insists she no longer needs a mask though as she’s fully vaccinated. Never mind she wants to sit right next to me, I’m still waiting on a second shot, as is dd, and youngest isn’t eligible yet. And never mind she is a coughing, sneezing, stuffed up mess who has travelled the last month and been around multiple un vaccinated households and refuses to get a covid test to confirm her deep raspy chest cough is in fact allergies...but I digress.

I’ll still be wearing a mask at softball, only one game left. Haven’t been wearing a mask to walk the dog around the neighborhood, it’s very sparse and cross the street in the rare instance someone passes by.

Have been invited to an outdoor party next weekend and I really don’t know what to do about it. Feeling like this mixed time is more stressful then masks and staying home.

I don't wear a mask when I walk around the neighborhood. I do wear it in parking lots, etc. I honestly just find it easier to put on in the car. When leaving work, I put it on once I leave my office space, and it's just easier to wait to get into the car to remove it. I will continue to wear it outside in situations where I cannot social distance-- and quite honestly, I'm not really in those situations yet. My younger dd is not yet vaccinated (just set up her first appointment for next week, hooray!), and I'm not willing to risk bringing something home. I'm vaccinated and feeling pretty comfortable these days, but I believe in taking precautions. I don't trust the maskholes, quite honestly. 

Vaxed amd still masking. Even if dr fauci comes to my house amd personally tells me o don’t have to. I like my mask. I like not breathing in other peoples coughs and hacks. Blech.

Easy! Just scan for the Bill Gates chip. Duh.
