    I don't wear one during the rare times I'm driving, or at home out in the yard. Otherwise, of course.

    We'll be flying to MN tomorrow so our mask will be on around 6 hours straight. On Delta, it's required from check in to deplaning.

    You're coming at a good time weather wise, but you might want to wear that mask more often. Social distancing isn't going well in MN right now and our cases are skyrocketing. Also with bars in Hudson opening up we got MN people crossing the border to go and drink..

    It hasn't taken off in MT, yet, but this is a contagious disease. Comparisons regarding traffic accidents and heart attacks tell us very little about the nature of this threat and are frankly misleading.

    Regarding whether MT needs a total lockdown I agree they don't but that is contingent on them doing things like testing and contact tracing to contain it. There are many rural areas that didn't take this seriously and we've seen big pockets in SD and MN.

    We plan to wear the masks when necessary. For the most part, we will be out in Willmar, far away from Hudson. :)

    Interesting that I'm seeing at least 7 out of 10 non-white wearing mask. And 2 out of 10 whites wearing mask while out in public..

    I'm in Arkansas right now and their acting as if there is no pandemic..

    I know a lot of orders on reopening say something like "employees should be required to wear masks if 6 feet of social distancing isn't possible." Feels like some people have drawn a corollary from that -- which actually doesn't necessarily logically follow -- that if you plan of staying at least 6 feet away you don't need the mask. Maybe I have Covid paranoia now, but I now see 6 feet as totally inadequate. If someone doesn't have a mask on, I want 10-15 feet.

    People die for this country, and idiots can't even put a mask on when they shop at walmart

    Apparently, the COVID-19 acts differently in Montana than it does in New York. It must not be highly contagious in Montana, able to spread through physical contact or airborne particles. And people in Montana act differently (none cough or sneeze, always avoid touching their face, always wash their hands sufficiently).

    are you still wearing your mask?

    I made a quick stop at HEB this evening and it was about 30% mask 70% no mask.

    It is for that reason I have my groceries delivered. I'd rather pay more and avoid the risk. It's a drag, but one I can live with for now.

    I don't get why the same people who worship the flag and believe you need to stand and hold your hand over your heart for the anthem don't believe they should make a sacrifice by covering their mouth during a pandemic to help their country do well and save American lives

    Yep. Still pretty good where I live, although, I'm starting to see more people I know not wearing the mask.
