Give us your best covid story.

I don't really have any good ones but I went grocery shopping without a mask tonight as I usually do. For some reason I was acutely aware of the vibe being given off by the NPCs. It was palpable.

People staring, people steering clear and one guy I swear was about to say something to me but I moved on before he had a chance.

It's weird to me that EVERYONE except me (and the place was busy) was wearing a mask. The front door says "please wear a mask" so I politely declined.

I don't have much hope for the future. I'd like to succumb to covid or some other horrible disease than to live on this planet anymore.

No stories from me... I've been going maskless for several months an no one has looked at me funny much less said anything. Maybe my more rural location? I shop in a town of ~30k (which is 33 miles away). Depending on the day, between 1/3 and 1/2 of all people I see are maskless.

Had a real feel-good moment last week though. Dropped in on a small butcher where I buy my filets (VD day and all) and no one was wearing masks. The butcher has gloves on (which I approve of, thanks!), but it was so nice to see everyones face... older (solid grey hair) folks, younger folks (gall running the register), not a mask to be seen. It was a breath of needed fresh air.
