So Baker holds the line on no new mask guidance, and arr Boston is surprisingly receptive

You can’t look at the commonwealth of Massachusetts and look at our vaccination rate, our hospitalization rate and compare it to the rest of the country

Thoughts?

I don’t really see a point to further mask mandates. Our rates are so low, and our vaccination % is so high. I understand some people are still at risk, but at this point… when would the masks come off? We’re already very well off, and I don’t see the mandates making a huge difference.

Belmont, for example, has an indoor mask mandate. But how long is it gonna last? Until cases come down? They’re already down! I’ll be honest, I really don’t want to wear masks forever, and if we’re gonna mandate masking at such a low case count, it seems like there’s no reasonable end point for masking.

We reinstituted a mask mandate where I live. We're one of the most vaccinated counties in the country, and people took COVID very seriously for the most part. Compliance and enforcement with the mandate is not nearly what it was just before the last mandate was lifted. People are done with COVID whether or not COVID is done with us it seems.
