Obviously hospitals aren’t being overwhelmed, the southern US ran a fantastic study for the rest of us, the people who want to get vaccinated can do so at this point pretty freely with no wait time. Its pretty clearly the end time. I don’t see many folks disagreeing at this point. Time to send it at all levels. Big summer incoming. Party like it’s 1999.

I think it will be safe to say anyone still wearing a mask after this is likely to be someone who already received the vaccine but is still cautious.

weatherwiz Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I'm curious to see how this is handled on a business-to-business basis. I wonder if you'll start seeing signs indicating if you enter mask-less you need to provide vaccine proof...especially smaller type businesses like barber shops, maybe gas stations, smaller family owned restaurants. Bars/clubs...big grocery stores probably nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners of small shops and stores are going to be anti-restriction and anti-mask for the most part, because those things hurt business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more interested to see when the "removing all restrictions" happens in MA.

Hard to judge just from the mask what the background reason is... but oh Americans love to judge too . I used the word likely for a reason. Sure, it could be a cancer patient or someone immunocompromised. You rarely saw people wearing masks prior to 2020, so there must not have been many of those folks out and about with masks back then. But yeah, sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker is "cautious" He's a "republican" in a blue state, so he walks a thin line to placate the leftist inside 128, and the communists in Berkshire county, but still try to mollify the conservatives in Worcester county and the south shore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MA was pretty lenient about travel early on and gave a lot of leniency to stores being open, but then he had this weird battle with golf course owners that basically made no sense last spring. The outdoor mask mandate was really bizarre too this past winter after not having one at all last year except in cases where you were unable to stay 6 feet away from people for more than 5 minutes or something. But then changing it to all the time made no sense. Either way, glad it's all coming to end soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend lots of time in NY, NJ, CT, MA, and NH (and slightly less but still a decent amount in VT) and MA has by far the most cautious population IMO.
