These mandatory mask refs are mostly political not for public safety. My state had. One long period then right after vaccines came out they dropped it way too soon. When omicron came, still no mandate for the state. Individual cities did declare them, but whoo whoo too little and too late. For people like mum it’s dangerous to be anywhere but home. I only worry that I might pick it up and bring it home to her. She’s 93 and has heart and lung problems. So right now any place I go with other people I’m double masked until omicron has passed. Today I had to go pick up mum’s meds and most of the people were masked. But it was early and most of them were elderly.
