Last I heard, weeks ago, Lamont was leaving it up to individual businesses to decide, but DPH was recommending we continue wearing masks. Probably not anymore though so as not to be in conflict with CDC guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that changes today - just depends on how quickly they can draw up the EOs and get them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I’m assuming that I will still be teaching in a mask for the rest of the year. Not awesome but not terrible in a paper mask. 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. New Hampshire and Maine nobody gave a shit last summer when we were up there. Didn't make it up there this winter unfortunately, but last year was pretty much business as usual except wearing a mask inside stores. Almost nobody wore them outside.

PhineasC Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 13 minutes ago, ORH_wxman said: Not sure, Baker has had some weird hills to die on during this. 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. I think a lot of states had these little battles as tinpot dictator governors suddenly wielded way more power than they ever had in the past. A lot of governors spent the last year stroking their egos and appearing on TV as much as possible to talk about themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Mass is going to be very hesitant to move up that 8/1 date and ditch the masks. You can take that straight to the bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maine was pretty restrictive indoors over the winter. At least the places I went. I assume they tightened that up when the "fall wave" hit and there was renewed panic.

I was actually just talking with a co-worker a few minutes ago and she said she was somewhere a few weeks ago and she had to present it. Carrying the card though is stupid...thing is huge. I think you can obtain a copy of it online or just take a picture of it and keep on your phone. I heard from a co-worker too it might be tied into your license...or on your license record. I mean I don't think it's a big deal if you have to show proof at certain places...no different than having to show your license when purchasing alcohol if asked to do so. no way it is on your license. that is 100% made up BS.

Wife and I went into Oxford casino (15min away) once and threw $20 into a slot. Not one spin was a "win" where you get some coins back. Every pull was a loss.
