Responding to a mask sidebar in the bullying thread:
Honestly, I’m not certain.
Last summer, a few weeks after my wife and I got our second shots, we finally ventured out a long road trip from New England to the southern US, to go visit my father (who had to be moved twice during the pandemic, from independent living to memory care to full nursing care in his retirement community) and my mother-in-law (who had a stroke while the world was locked down). I reported on my observations in one of the COVID threads here…but essentially, the further we got away from New England / the “redder” the area we were in, the fewer masks we saw being worn, and the less comfortable we were wearing masks.
The most memorable part of that experience was at one stop in rural western Tennessee, where one “gentleman” yelled at us for wearing masks, demanding that we get our masks “out of there” “or else”.
I’d chalk that particular incident to mental illness, manifesting through some crazy political sentiment (similar to how it is uncomfortable to have different political views in certain locales) and subscription to the various conspiracy theories and other nuttiness that we’ve seen in public discourse on COVID.
However, we did receive stink eyes elsewhere during that trip and subsequent travel (I felt most unwelcome masking in eastern Washington and northern Idaho a couple of months ago), and I have had the experience of being asked to unmask in one store (a local gun shop) because of the proprietors’ preferences.
I will admit that I haven’t personally seen/experienced analogous behavior of pro-mask folks towards non-masked individuals…but I am still more of a homebody than I was in the Before Times (although thankfully not the strict isolation my wife and I maintained between mid-March '20 until three weeks after we got our second shots). But I infer, from what I’ve read, that there are a few incidents of such craziness.
