As we are forced to realize that Covid and it's ever-changing variants are not going away, we have to adjust our habits accordingly. Tennessee mask mandates were lifted a long time ago, but it was only recently that grocery stores stopped putting out free masks, hand sanitizer dispensers, but still supply sanitary wipes for the cart handles.
Our hospital lifted mask mandates several months ago. That surprised me. I still wear a mask if I go to visit someone in the hospital. Why expose vulnerable patients unnecessarily? Many doctor's offices have lifted the requirement also. Fortunately, some places allow you to wait in your car and they call you on the cell phone when your turn comes up.
Smart people will hopefully use some level of common sense and won't simply trash their supply of masks. I carry a ziploc bag with clean masks in the console of the car and often just tuck one in my pocket when I get out of the car.
