I have had a vacation in Virginia planned since before Covid but now I’m wondering if it’s gonna be too gay to even bother going. VA has “mask laws” and while I’m coming from Ohio which also has mask laws, no one really enforces them here. You can pretty much do most things with nary more than an evil glare from the occasional double masker.
I’m not wearing a goddamn mask and you can’t just call around and ask this kinda thing, so.... What’s the vibe in VA?
I live in Nelson County, VA and work in Charlottesville, VA --- in grocery stores like Kroger & places like Walmart & Lowes, you don't need a mask at all, but almost everyone around you wears one. I personally never wear them and nobody ever says a word (no customers, no cashiers, etc)
I've seen some of the nicer type restaurants use nonsense like QR codes to view the menu and DO NOT have a paper menu option ----- whereas, if you go to a more salt of the earth restaurant, they might ask you to put on a mask as you walk the 10 feet from the door to a table, but otherwise you don't need a mask.
You can swim in rivers and hike, and you certainly don't need masks there, but some morons still where them outside.
The big thing is even if morons wear masks themselves outside, others don't and nobody is going to even mention masks outside.
Inside most stores --- I just don't wear a mask, regardless of how many signs they have, and I force them to confront me, which few do. If any restaurant or store are real mask nazis, I'd leave and not give them your money.
That’s reassuring! Thanks for the reply
