Are you not in a city? I still see people masking all the time, though it’s never a lot of them unless the setting still requires masking. Most folk dance events I would otherwise be attending still require masks, and often N95s. There’s much less lingering masking and vaccine requirements in the suburbs, though.

I'm in a city and it's very rare for me (my wild guess is <1:50) to see masks outside of the doctor's office or other medical facilities. My usual haunts are restaurants, bars, gyms/fitness studios, retail, coffeeshops, movie theaters, and sports events, which is hardly the entire world, but I would've thought it was a big enough slice that claims of harassment in public for not wearing a mask startle me.

("Elder millenial" or whatever the fuck demographic they're calling it now, if that's a factor.)
