1. Watch your facial expressions.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve gotten pretty used to not having to control what your face looks like underneath your mask. You can mouth anything, move the lower half of your face in any way, and if you’ve reached expert level, give off a fake smile by just scrunching your eyes. Remember, when masks eventually go away, the ability to mouth “Be quiet, Karen” to yourself in the grocery store without anyone seeing you goes away too.
2. Keep up with the CDC’s regulations regarding
vaccinated and unvaccinated persons.
This one is mostly a safety thing. The CDC has released guidelines regarding the actions vaccinated persons should take when around other vaccinated people and non-vaccinated people, so be sure to adhere to them strictly. If you’re meeting someone for the first time and you’re not sure whether to believe whether they’ve actually been vaccinated, try asking the following:
-How long did it take you to get an appointment?
-Which vaccine did you get?
-How far did you drive to get it?
-How long did you wait on a line?
If they don’t launch into an impassioned tirade, gesticulating and complaining in true New Jersey fashion, then they might be a little sus. Mask up.
