I just moved from AL to NC and I find differences interesting. While in AL, most people are amenable to (what I call) soft-masking...just not too strict about things. Surrounding states like LA/MS (arguably TN outside Nashville) are pretty lax too. Now in NC, my neighbors (some, not all) are visibly afraid of COVID.

Now the mask differences are easily explainable, local govt and whatnot, but the fear is odd to me. (How do people see FL's response and not ask questions???)

Hoping I can bring a dose of red to this purple state.
