I've gone "unmasked" into a few places already in the past few days and it feels very strange. Almost risque.
I was in Publix yesterday. There was a sign that said masks required unless you are vaccinated. I put my mask on (out of habit), took it off, felt very vulnerable among the maskless (who knows if they're vaccinated or just refusing to wear a mask) and put it back on. What about the seven NY Yankees staff that contracted Covid after their vaccinations?


It's going to take a while for me to feel comfortable not wearing a mask in a busy store. And partly because I feel this latest directive came from a governors' meeting at which many urged the prez to do away with masks for the vaccinated. I believe it was the Utah governor who said We're a vaccinated country; let's act like one.


Makes me wonder if there was any science behind it, or the CDC just caved. I'll feel better about it in a month or two if the infection rate continues to drop.
