with few customers. I still generally do at work (always when interacting directly with patients) --although policies in a lot of hospitals and certainly clinics have become inexplicably lax--undoubtedly because of RWers pitching a fit (many ERs have had to dramatically increase security and police calls every night and to some extent, during the days). Many hospitals have staff who have either bought into the RW view of masks and vaccines--again inexplicably-- or are just lazy or averse to anything that remotely lends to personal discomfort.
The very people who generally went through COVID-19 and were most at risk still have to deal with those in their midst who have bought into the bullshit--a la RFK JR. and MTG.

Hi. Never stopped wearing them outside my apt, in stores, other buildings. Generally taken off outside...

Both my wife and I do. If we're out of the house (and out of the car) we're masked.

I don't, but I still see people at work wearing masks, almost exclusively women
