For the most part, I refused to comply - retailers in our area were a mixed bag, but most did not enforce it, although I got some dirty looks from some of the shoppers but no one confronted me. If they did enforce it, I just left and didn't go back. That being said there were times it was just expedient. Taking my mom to a dr appt, needing to mail a package, etc. When we were protesting mask mandates at the county courthouse, they wouldn't let us in without one so I wore a cloth Trump mask.
I understand the expedient part, we all did that. What we should have done was tell them to go F themselves - for the most part that is what I told them. Its not always easy to stand against tyranny and for many, a lesson learned.
And now, a lot of them are going to get to pay the ultimate payment.
We survived their assassination attempt.... will they?
Towards the end of it all when airports were still masked. After checking into see urity to pick up my dad. I sat and waited. Took mine off. Watched a younger person stare from across the room and he took his off. Then unloading area. Crowds of masks ,meaning every person, and I kept mine off. Not one person came after me. Was really weird. But I think they did not want to bother.
Same here, mixed bag but in some situations I complied because it was expedient. I hate buying groceries online and didn’t want a fight every time I went to get food 😕 My mom was in the hospital in early 2022 and I had to wear one there or I couldn’t see her 😞 As it was, they were relaxing the restrictions of just one person allowed in per patient so I didn’t want to push things 😕 But I pulled them down and took them off as soon as I could. Now I wish I hadn’t worn any at all but at the time there was so much going on I didn’t have the mental energy to fight 😕 My brother had been killed by the lockdowns and I was dealing with the kids masking in school and then my mom getting sick and I kept stupidly hoping the mandates would be terminated but every month they renewed 🙄 I am still so angry and resentful about all of that, I want those responsible to be prosecuted and held accountable!!!
I did talk to my one US Senator’s rep about it at the time but my state Senator and Rep were all about “trusting the experts” and didn’t have much interest in hearing about the negative sides 🙄

What state are you in? Sounds like NY.
My parents were in NY. I’m in Indiana.
Have you told your story to your Congress rep or Senators?

The UHC CEO was prosecuted.
