I live in Illinois just outside of Chicago. When the governor issued his mask mandate about a month ago I just didn't comply. Maybe two months not sure. I walked into the store and I didn't see anyone resisting. I was getting unnerved and just about that time I saw someone else. We never had eye contact but I was smiling. I kept doing this and nobody ever challenged me. As time went on I have notice the resisters have reached about 50%. What funny is that the stores have both signs, one recommending that you wear a mask and another stating that masks are required. All I can say is "small steps". The high point to all of this is that I am an older guy. I have smiled at people in the past because that's how I was raised. I was usually met with dirty looks like I was some sort of pervert that wanted something from them. Now when I smile I am greeted with greetings and salutations that I haven't received in 40 years. No way I will ever wear a face diaper again. I'm to old to care what those people think of me. Quit honestly some thing are worth it.
You are a hero. Usually I am unmasked, but when the store required masks the other day, whether vaxxed or not, I complied. It's something I need to think about. I do draw the line at the vaxx, though.
