I am in a mask mandated state, in a suburban area that is very compliant.
I have been having some work done on my house for a month. Every time a worker comes in they have a mask, and every time I tell them they don't need to wear it unless they want to at my house. Some immediately take it off and smile, others keep it on. Today I am happy to say there are 5 guys from 3 different companies in my house, 3 of whom kept the mask on in previous visits, Not one guy is wearing a mask today, all in the same room. It is a glorious site to see.
My wife thought I was annoying people by saying something every time. I thought I might be annoying them too, but kept doing it. And now I have seen these great results.
Just yesterday I told my uber driver he could take his mask off. He said he would keep it on so he doesn't get in trouble, but said I could take mine off. I thought that was a small progress.
that is definitely progress. nice job.
