For those who don’t buy into any of this, by all means, you have the freedom to stay home or double mask when in public if you want to. I and many others however are totally done with all this control and paranoia!

My understanding is that masks protect the people around the wearer more so than the people wearing them.
I also understand that this vaccine is very different from other vaccines. Some say that it is not technically a vaccine. It does not prevent this virus from entering your system. What it does is uses your rNA to prevent the virus from replicating itself once it enters your system. This prevents the virus from making you ill or killing you.
What this means is that even though you have been vaccinated and waited two weeks for the vaccine to become effective, you can still carry the virus and pass it one to other people.
I have had both shots and my incubation period ends tomorrow. I will continue to wear a mask indoors in public places until everyone in the state of Florida who wants to be vaccinated has been so. After that I don't feel that I should have to alter my life style to suit people who have decided not to be vaccinated.
I also see that many stores and other businesses REQUIRE the wearing of masks. I believe that they have every right in a free country to require whatever they want in order to allow you to enter their premises.
It is also now a federal law to wear a mask when on federal property. So when you go to the post office or any other federal building, you are required to wear a mask.
To me, it's not all that complicated or difficult. I wear a mask indoors when the public places. I don't wear it in my home, or when driving my golf cart or car and in most cases, I don't wear it outside. We were told a long time ago that it is very difficult to contract this virus out of doors and I don't believe that has changed. In fact I think that it has been proven by the so called super spreaders that have not spread anything. The number of cases in The Villages has not gone up since the squares have opened. The number of cases did not increase after the big Trump rally.
It's pretty easy to have a mask with you at all times and out it on for the short amount of time that you are in a store or any other business.
