EXCEPT, while the primary reason for wearing the mask was to protect others from the wearers germs, there is still some protection for the wearer from other people's germs when you wear a mask.As stated in another post, Pfizer tests shows once you received both shoots you are not a carrier. So, those who have received the vaccine do not really need to wear masks.
I'm curious on why mask mandates would be lifted if the majority of people still haven't been vaccinated. Just because someone says they've been vaccinated and says they are no longer potentially contagious doesn't mean it's true. I can see some lifting of mandates later this year, but now?

So then the people who haven’t been vaccinated should be concerned and double triple quadruple their masks but don’t require those vaccinated to still wear it. It’s like what’s the point of being vaccinated if I can never take this thing off.
I think people will stop caring around the end of the year as they seem to already have.
It's a good thing I live in Madison!What you saw is prevalent in many parts of Wisconsin.

If anything seems like more mask-wearing not less in my area.
Masks are mandated indoors so I seldom see anyone without one in a store.
Most people don't wear them outdoors, although I have seen more on the hiking trails near my house than I used to.
My husband was out walking the dog last weekend. He was alone, the neighborhood is all one-acre lots, and houses all have large setbacks from the street. Even if someone unexpectedly stepped outside, it's not like they would need to be anywhere near him. Some jerk driving past stopped his car, rolled his window down, and yelled to put on a mask. Not sure who he thought the mask would be protecting in that situation?
I will be wearing a mask whenever I leave my house for a very long time and may never stop. I have become so used to it that it will not bother me to continue to wear one.
I take it you don't live in KC or STL because those places def require masks and they comprise of most of the population of the state. When I visited the Lake of the Ozarks..no they did not.I’m in Missouri and we never had a mandate here. Some places are required, like the grocery store, Target, etc and there masks are mostly worn. A few still don’t and I’ve never seen anyone say anything to those who don’t. A lot of places have no requirement and I’d say it’s maybe 50/50 in those places. They have attempted to make people wear one walking into the gym but not while exercising, but pretty much no one wears one at all including the workers. A lot of people around here (me included) only wear them when absolutely required, and I see hardly anyone ever wear them outside.
Places also consider the population (and estimated population when considering lack of testing and those who didn't exhibit symptoms) who have had covid.How is it possible to lift the mask wearing mandate when only 11.5% of population received vaccination?? I am in NJ, working at an elementary school. I am now wearing double masks at work. My school district is still in hybrid mode and parents are pushing for 5 days in person school reschedule. In order to do that, everyone needs to wear masks and follow the COVID-19 guidelines.
We never had one here in SC, but in the CIty of Charleston (Dem Mayor) has had one even walking out side (face palm)
