I'm in NW Washington state. The vast majority of people are still masking up, many outdoors in open areas. Mass formation psychosis has the devil's grip up here.
Wow. Here in Arizona. mask prevalence is about 5-10% (and I make a pastime of counting masked vs nonmasked individuals whenever I go out, so it's a pretty good estimate).
I left California more than 20 years ago, when I could see the way things were heading. I'd only moved there eight years before that... it had been a long-time dream to live there, and I did indeed have some wonderful times and meet some incredible people. In only eight years, though, the dream was over.
I am just glad that I got to experience the "golden state" while it still had some lustre remaining. It's gone now, truly. It's a shame, because other than the horrible political situation over there, it is really beautiful. With their politics being as they are, though, I don't even want to visit, let alone live there.
Signs on businesses demanding people mask before entering. Those all came down about a year ago here, and now the large majority of people don't wear one. (Arizona, fwiw).
If I may ask, where do you live where you still see those?

Still see what? Bay Area of CA.
