We're All Going to Die

We don't have a mandate down here but we still are required by every big store to wear a mask.

Do you guys wear a mask when you're outside? I don't...well unless I'm getting gas and there is someone on the other side of the pump, or at Disney since it's required.

If I am walking the dog for a short walk and I am just going outside briefly, I leave my mask on. If I am outside otherwise, or in my car, I don't wear my mask. I keep 6 feet away from anybody though. Our law is for indoor only.

People who wear a mask when they are alone in their car are insane.

I don't wear a mask on my walks/bike rides. With the walks I usually run into 2 or 3 people, if they don't move off the sidewalk to get 6 feet of distance, I do. With the bike rides I'm not as cautious. I stay on the paved paths and do pass others within 6 feet. Probably not the best idea but we're both outside and I'm going at a minimum of 9 mph so breath dissipates a whole lot quicker than in other situations.
 
Mask mandate in NH ends today (expires, technically). But someone at my work said "the lawyers" told us it's a few more weeks until businesses can end the requirement.

If I was going back to my cube monkey job I wouldn't feel comfortable w/o a mask unless I had both my shots and my whole team had both shots. And I'd still put one on while going to the bathroom or breakroom.

There hasn't been much in terms of "outside" yet, since it's still more inside weather than outside. But it's the usual thing; walking dogs on the sparsely populated beach, no mask. On a busy walking path, mask. On a hiking trail, no mask, but keep one handy. At an outdoor restaurant, mask until seated. And same for me when getting gas, no mask unless there's someone across from me.
 
I mask up when I'm out in public at stores and whatnot, but not outside if I'm more than 6' away from others. We've only done a couple of dine-in restaurants since all of this started. We have to mask-up at work when we're away from out desks.

The Mrs. got her second shot last week, and I get my second shot on Monday. We'll be going out to dinner two weeks after to celebrate.
I also got a couple of tickets to a Mud Hens game in mid-July. They are only letting 3,000 people into the stadium, and hopefully they don't decide vaccinated people need to worry about being in public.

I haven't been going to band practice for the last year either. The other guys were OK with hanging out together in a basement without masks, but I think they're stupid, so I've been recording my parts and have been joining them by Skype. It's not the same, but it's not irresponsible either. The bass player got his second shot, but I'm not sure if the other two are getting theirs, so I need to see if it's advisable to hang out with them yet.
 
If you have your second shot, shouldn't matter about them. Even if you get it it will be mild but you should be almost completely protected.
 
I have both shots, but still wear a mask in stores since the county still mandates it. County commissioners are hinting they may not by May.
 
I get how private business can require masks but I don't understand how a county can supercede state mandates. Like FL as a state has no mandate, but Broward County does. So If I go to a local library or whatever I have to wear a mask...I would anyway, but it seems odd they can require it. How does that work?

In ON, the mask mandate is a the local level. They just made it a bi-law. The province has got around some stuff by declaring a state of emergency. This gives them the power to enact a stay-at-home order.

As of yesterday, they have closed the provincial borders between ON and Manitoba and Quebec both ways. Unless you are crossing for an essential reason you will be turned back.
 
Governor of Colorado just left it up to the counties for the most part. Most counties are still under a mask mandate. But my county (Larimer) probably won't be by May.
 
I found out that NH cities like Portsmouth (where we shop) are still mandating masks.

Our community band has scheduled an outdoor rehearsal for one week from today. Hopefully the weather will hold up.

That's cool. You guys may even draw a few onlookers.

We'd get arrested.......
We tried it once when I was just out of high school. The cops shut us down pretty quickly.

Mrs. goreds2 and I received our second Pfizer yesterday at noon. We currently both have some body aches. Just going to relax on the recliner and watch the Reds game.

Cool! (The 2nd shot, not the side effects.) Keep moving the arm they poked. It'll help that part at least.
 
I'd mask if the other guys would, but the singer and drummer, the two that might not be getting vaccinated, said they couldn't play in masks.
If we were any good, and had anything on the horizon other than playing in the basement, it might be different and I might be motivated to mix it up. But we aren't, we don't, and if they are selfish enough to not think of the others in the room with them, I'm not in a rush to hang out with them.
