“I plan on wearing my mask until this pandemic is totally over, so probably another year or so I will still be wearing a mask,” said Rochelle Parker.
“I’ll continue to wear the mask because I feel like I received the Moderna vaccine and I don’t feel like I’m protected 100%,” said Crystal Badey.
“Good news, I don’t think anybody likes wearing the masks. I can breathe easier without the mask. All along in COVID, everything is contradictory. You don’t know what to believe,” said Thomas Saal.
