    Had to drop by one if the bigger hospitals (300 beds) in the area this week. No door screener. The employees in the hallways were masked, but behind closed doors, they were not.

    Most of the people (about 70%) in the hallways and in the waiting areas, were not masked. I did notice people still tended to stay socially distanced, in most cases.

    Waaay different...

      I go downtown for my healthcare now.

      Everybody is masked, at least in public spaces. Everybody.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Going in for annual bloodwork today. Will report back, but I'm pretty sure everyone will be masked since the rate is going up again.

          Maybe, 1 out of 25 has a mask in the supermarket

          I saw maybe 1 of 50 with masks at a restaurant the other day

          Zero at the golf course

          Zero anyplace else

          Skin color seems to play a part in making the decision

            Masked up and handing them out if you don't have one.

              Still pretty common here at stores. I'll try to pay attention next time and gauge a percentage.

              At the gym there are very few of us in masks.

                The bus is the only place I see most people wearing a mask. Outside of that, it's dropped pretty dramatically.

                  It's still required on public transportation here.

                    There's still a fair number of people wearing them in supermarkets etc. here.

                    I was only joking

                      I'd say it's most people in supermarkets, but now I want to see again and pay more attention.

                        In a bigger hospital today, with a Level II trauma center. Employees about the same. Folks in waiting rooms and hallways, about 60/40 (U/M).

                        Big sign at entrances mandating masks.

                          You know, if I see a sign, I put on a mask. To do anything else is just obnoxious.
