It's not just NY. It's everywhere. My wife and I took our son to a fireworks store yesterday and not a single person was wearing a mask. Several looked at us very confused like we were walking around with no clothes on. Before anyone asks why we went to the fireworks store since it is not necessary I just want to point out that my son's birthday is July 4th and it is a pretty big deal at our house. He has always had fireworks at our house on his birthday and I was not about to skip it. When we went to the grocery for curbside pickup we watched people walking in and out of the store with no mask on. I could count maybe 10 to 15 people that were wearing one. I live in Indiana and it is still a Red state. People here think that if you are wearing a mask then you must be protesting He Who Must Not Be Named.
This COVID19 is never going to go away because as long as it is not
them dead or laying in a bed face down with a ventilator fighting for their lives then it is not a real thing. So they just ignore it.
