Very few people are wearing masks here. A few businesses and medical offices still require them, but that's it.

The only people I see indoors in Seattle without masks are people at my barre studio who registered as vaccinated.
Outside is more of a mixed bag. I am not wearing a mask outside now unless I am somewhere crowded, and that seems to be most people (I am posting from the park and the kids are masked but I do not see a masked adult in sight).

I'm south of Phoenix... and I'd say maybe 10-25% of people are still wearing masks, depending on the store. ?? (I'm bad at estimating that kind of thing.)
The AZ governor lifted the mask mandate even before the CDC came out with their latest guidance, but his latest executive order said that stores could continue to require them if they wanted to. Most stores I've been in have removed the mask signs altogether, and the few signs I have seen say, "We are following the CDC recommendations, so please wear a mask if you are unvaccinated."
Kohls even opened their dressing rooms back up a couple weeks ago, yay!!! Goodwill has not, though, for some reason. <sigh>
eta: oh, and everyone at my workplace, because they still require temp checks every day, and require masks unless you're in your office by yourself. Hopefully that will change soon, with the number of people that have gotten vaccinated-- because it's annoying knowing I don't have to wear it at the grocery store, but I have to wear it at work, when I know MOST of the people are already vaccinated.

I live in the SF Bay Area. I’d say 100% masking in stores. I’ve yet to see an unmasked person anywhere inside businesses the whole pandemic, although I have seen a few noses hanging out (well, I guess that qualifies as “unmasked” 😆)However, our mask mandate will be lifted in 2 weeks. I’m betting many people will still mask for awhile.

In my part of Texas, very few people are wearing masks. My part too. But - there are still Trump flags in my neighborhood 🤪

Very few from what I’ve seen. I know one of our two hospitals in town has zero covid patients right now, but don’t know about the other. (DD’s BF’s mom is a nurse and is assigned to the covid floor when there are patients)
I am vaccinated, not wearing a mask. But I would if I need to, like when at a doctors office or somewhere they requested

I'm in a suburb outside of Houston and still see quite a bit of masking where I've been.

We haven’t been wearing masks for months because we had zero locally acquired cases. But we now have about 30 cases after someone caught it on their last day of quarantine and it’s spreading. We have been put into lockdown and masks are mandatory again. In answer to your question, everyone (except for little kids) is wearing a mask. It’s a $200 fine if you don’t. ETA: I take it back...... not everyone is wearing a mask. There was an anti-lockdown protest today with about 50-60 protesters. The photos I've seen show the police wearing masks but not the protesters. Cockheads.

Still seeing just about everyone masking up...I really don't think there is anyone not masking indoors. It's still part of our county guidelines.

Still those maskholes who go into stores and shops without one. Guess I am a maskhole. Nearly no one is wearing a mask in my area. I don't go out much, but anywhere I have been, there have been almost no one with a mask on. My county is currently at zero cases, and the 7 day average is also at zero. Or not. Seeing as there is a mandate to wear them where she lives, I’d agree those people not wearing them there, probably are. If there is no mandate where you live and you’re vaxxed, you’re not one.

South Florida urban area at about 50% in stores. Most store employees are somewhat wearing masks. Don't know about outside in public, do not venture out were people congregate outdoors. Never did and not about to now.

I’m in northern VA also, and I was in costco a couple days ago and maybe 90-95% of folks are still masking, and a few still double masking. (I did that in January-February when our numbers were so bad, but I stopped double masking once I was vaccinated.)
I still see people masking outside but we stopped that weeks ago. We just stay away from people.
We are fully vaccinated but still cautious.

I only occasionally see someone unmasked outside. Even outdoors, most (90% at least) people are wearing masks.
I posted a couple of weeks ago when Costco and Trader Joe's said they weren't requiring masks anymore, but I went to Costco today and EVERYONE was masked. My MIL reports that everyone at our Trader Joe's is wearing a mask. (My local TJoe's, when I called at the time, said they no longer required masks, but I think they were wrong because my county and state still require masks in markets.)

I live in a red city in a red state where life was basically back to normal May 2020. I'm always surprised when I go out and see about 90% of the public still wearing masks. Restaurant workers stopped wearing masks when the gov ended the mask mandate recently. Out of everyone wearing a mask, I kinda hoped they'd be the last to take them off.

Red, rural Florida - 24% have had at least one dose.
Went shopping tonight -two grocery stores (Aldi and Publix) and I don't think I saw anyone else with a mask other than us (me, DH, D21 - all three fully vaccinated). DD14 didn't come with us tonight but she's only had one dose so far.
Florida has sucked with mask wearing in general though (actually make that any covid precautions really)
ALL ICU beds are full in my county at the moment.

We have to wear masks indoor in public until labour day.
Dh is fully vaccinated. I’m getting my second next week. My girls have had their first dose. We want them to wait the 10 weeks until second dose. We are in Canada.

The majority of people I see here are still wearing masks inside (Target, grocery store, etc.) I am fully vaccinated and I continue to wear one, out of an abundance of caution for right now. However, when I am outside or when I am around friends who are fully vaccinated, I am okay with not wearing one.

I live in a suburb of Seattle. Our county still has a mask mandate and in the last week indoors I have seen 2 people at Costco and 1 at Safeway without masks. The mask mandate is followed by the vast majority of people.
Today I went to the county south of us (Pierce) to visit my mom. I picked up lunch at a crowded Panda Express. I was the only one wearing a mask. I checked the sign on the door and it said mask recommended (not required). It was so weird to see so many maskless people in one place. It really took me aback.

Upstate SC-hardly anyone, unless it's a medical facility. I went to dinner tonight and not a single person, including staff had one on.

The mandate has ended here but still probably 40-50% of the people I see inside stores, etc. are wearing masks. I’d be willing to bet most of them are already fully vaccinated like I am. I’m not getting rid of mine anytime soon. By the time my kid can get her vaccine it will probably be winter and cold and flu season will be back upon us so I might as well keep on wearing one then to prevent picking up other people’s regular crud, LOL.
I don’t think I ever saw anyone wearing one outside, other than maybe between a car and a store entrance. But then again the places I go to outside are never crowded with hoards of people either and it’s easy enough to avoid being near others if you do happen to see someone else when you’re out walking or whatever.

On Long Island NY, today was the first time I saw a woman in her 70s working at Pet smart without a mask. Another woman waiting on line with us also didn't have a mask on and said it was because she was vaccinated.She also said, "I don't even know anyone that had it" I'm fully vaxxed and will be keeping mine on for quite awhile

We still have a mask mandate, with no indication of when it will be lifted, and pretty much everyone is still wearing masks where they are required. We didn't have an outdoor requirement for the most part - just one part of the inner city where it still applies - so people outdoors are generally mask free. Indoors, on public transport, etc - masks everywhere. There are pretty stiff fines for non-compliance, which I guess helps. We went out for a drink after work yesterday, mainly because we could! It is still only outdoor bars/drinks, so we didn't wear a mask from when we left the subway until we were back to the entrance to come home. All the tables were on the sidewalks in the area we were, so we just walked up and were seated. Waiters were all still wearing them though.

I am in upstate NY and I would say about 75% are still wearing masks in stores. I go to a small kickboxing studio and none of us wear masks in class anymore. We are all vaccinated and are still socially distanced. We had a very high rate of mask compliance when the mandate was in place. Some businesses still require masks and almost all require their staff to wear masks. I'm pretty sure I will forever wear a mask in Walmart.

Our area in CT sounds like yours - 90 percent are still masked. It's rare you see someone in a public place without one.

Where I live, most are still masked, even at Walmart, LOL! But if you go north just a bit, like a 10 minute drive from my house, in that part of the city, I'd say about half are masked. Other friends have noticed the same thing: inside the main freeway loop around the city, majority are masked. The further out from the main loop, it starts to decrease slightly, and outside the outermost loop, about half. It's sad really, as so many people here still are not vaccinated.

I’m in Fairfield County CT. I haven’t really ventured out much except for the grocery store and Costco. I went to Target this week and everyone was masked except three teenage girls—I admit it I stared, just because it was so unusual.
I went to the mall for some cartilage piercings a couple of days ago, and there was nearly full compliance with the concept of the mask, (e.g. people had one on their person) but a large amount of half-assed mask wearing—under the nose, hanging off one ear, etc.
