I wish people would stay masked, it's a simple preventative measure.

But immediately after recommending that vaccinated can unmask, it seems that everyone did. I went from seeing 2 or three without masks and they got critical looks from people, to 2 or 3 with masks getting looks from the unmasked. It was so dramatically quick the change in behavior.
