What's been changing lately? In my area things the masks are starting to go away, especially in the last month.I'm no longer the only person in the grocery store without one, and even at Wal-Mart the door greeters don't even ask about masks anymore. It's not like things were back in August- September when I had to be mentally (and physically too, but the mental aspect is more important) prepared to get down and dirty to enter a store without a mask.
