Lisbon Report - Every Single Person Wears A Mask Properly Indoors Here Unless Eating

Every.
Single.
One.

Been in Lisbon for 4 days. Saw zero people without a mask at train station, or in any building. Outside 60% wear masks. I don't. I'm outside. Amazing how much they don't want to catch Covid in Portugal. Amazing.

I wish I could stay (safe) here till all the anti-vaxxers died off back home....

I have protected myself as much as possible since the beginning, and am damn glad my governor is Inslee and not Death Sentence.

Just think of how many more Americans would be alive if we wore masks like they do here.

Sad.

Once in a while, I will spot a mask that has gone north or south, but masks are everywhere here as well.

I assume the rest are children.

Good going.

I am amazed.

where the vaccination rate is only 47% and the CDC designated infection rate is "high" almost nobody wears masks anywhere. Crowd activities indoors and out continue as usual.

Is a day when EVERYONE wears a mask outside their house, when at home you can take it off. And it's coming
to this on account of reQublicOns "free DUMBs" not to wear one. They're keeping the virus alive and well while
planning to blame Biden & Democrats for a lackluster response to the virus. We need to make sure they can't.

They really sitting in hog pens in a muddy farm field, maskless, eating donuts, and the county they
are in has the lowest vaccination rate in the state of Alabama, 28%.

Portugal is excellent and quite liberal in many ways. I went there 2 years ago to Lisbon and loved it.
