In northern NJ, we’re all wearing masks. We had a lot of cases here. A story like this seems to me to be looking for trouble where it doesn’t exist. And it’s hardly the first I’ve seen on this topic.
I’m sure it’ll come off during the summer.
But first evidence of fall spike, back it goes.

‘A story like this seems to me to be looking for trouble where it doesn’t exist.’
you left off your sarcasm tag, right...?
‘But first evidence of fall spike, back it goes.’
yeah...? well, don’t give me the stink eye for leaving it off...
“In northern NJ, we’re all wearing masks.”
Negative. In Hoboken, it’s about half and declining. People getting hip to it.
Agreed—here in CT I have only seen one person without a mask in public.
(They probably lurk or post here. ;-) )
There is no name calling or finger pointing here.
When in Rome do as the Romans do—that is common sense and has nothing to do with politics.
I’m completely baffled at the problems people have with masks.
No problem wearing them everywhere. If anyone wants to make it a cultural or control issue, or a conservative vs liberal one, then they are an idiot as far as I am concerned. Not a hassle in the slightest, and just basic courtesy since there is a non-zero chance any given person is an asymptomatic carrier. Anyone who has an issue with wearing one is just like someone who thinks having to wipe their ass, not masturbate in public, or not drive drunk is some kind of ‘imposition on their freedoms’, a sociopath who really needs to be removed from society but who is instead just shunned and considered a pariah.
Once this thing is gone, it will be worth laughing over, but for now, if I actually ran into someone who refused to wear on in public, I’d put them in the same category as a drunk or a methed-out unbathed and urine-soaked raving homeless person, that is, deranged and not fully human.
The people who think it’s anything more than a slight extension of covering your sneeze or not spitting on people, and instead make it a political or cultural issue as the real problem, it’s simply a basic courtesy and being an adult human being.
Other people’s mileage may vary, and I sure as hell disagree with government having the power to close businesses, but masks? not even a big deal, a triviality and not any kind of an imposition.
