Trader Joe's and Walmart have apparently dropped their mask mandate. Costco and Target apparently have as well--in places which don't have a local mask mandate. So here in CA it's still in force.

Publix dropped it here.

HEB (which is our popular Texas regional grocery chain, similar to the way Publix is in the SE), still has it in place.  But in areas where the local authorities didn't have mandates, it was never enforced.

I was in both Costco and Target earlier today, they still have signs up and are requiring it here.  And that wasn't in Austin, that was in a suburb that tends way less liberal than Austin proper.

But it won't be the norm for much longer I don't think, even in Austin.  I predict that by Memorial Day weekend, everyone's going to say eff it.  Businesses that decide to keep it in place, are going to put their employees at risk of confrontation.

If Trader Joe’s, which was somewhat militant about capacities, dropped it, the rest won’t be far behind.

The confrontation thing is ... unfortunate.

I got Moderna#2 this morning.  Fingers crossed for minimal side effects over the next couple of days.

To date, they have been, in the Austin area.

But I don't anticipate that will continue.  The state has already lifted its mask mandate, and many municipalities have as well.  Without the strength of government mandates behind them, the businesses aren't going to feel like they have much ground to stand on.

Plus, COVID is over now, right?  So no worries then.

I wish my office would end the masks, considering they know we are all vaccinated

The vaccinated in our office are not wearing masks. The unvaccinated have to wear them until they show us their CDC card.

Annoyingly, we went to Trader Joe's yesterday. I walked in without my mask and literally everyone in the store was wearing them, so my wife scolded me and made me put my mask on. 

I might not give a crap what Newsom says, but I care what the boss says.

Me too. Apparently they're planning on keeping them. So I'm planning on working from home unless I absolutely need to be there.

I'm not anti-mask and never have been; you all know that. But I wear glasses and I can be just as effective at my job from home as the office 95% of the time. I'd rather work from home and be comfortable than have to sit at a cubicle with a mask on, fogging up my glasses all day, uncomfortable. 

It's not political; I just don't see enough of a need to be in the office if I have to wear it.

Sounds like you don't really need to be in the office anyway, with rare exceptions maybe.  Hopefully your management is wise enough to realize they don't need it.

My company is definitely going to eliminate a ton of office space.  Obviously the engineers that need to be present in the labs with the equipment need to go in, but beyond that, I suspect the majority of us will never have our own personal cubes again.  We'll likely end up doing hotel cubes with reservations when we need to be present in-person, and a lot more team-oriented collaborative spaces built out.

Had Pfizer #2 yesterday. Had a slight fever last night but nothing else. Been working from home today just in case. 

We don’t have to wear masks at work but they have us really spaced out. I’m really liking it.
