Oregon and Washington will be lifting indoor mask mandates next week.
It appears no one learns from history, after all.

It's strange that it's happening here in Oregon of all places because I'm in Oregon, and It's rare that you see anyone even try to challenge the mask ruling.
Mind you we've seen plenty of masks improperly put on and stupidity, but honestly it was the minority of observations.
Oregon is a unique state, We have taken the idea of being pioneer's very seriously and that means we take great state pride in undertaking experiments that would be otherwise unthinkable elsewhere.
We are of course the Origin of America's Doctor assisted suicide state, where the fight originally was sparked, we vote by Mail which honestly our state reps DO represent us in saying ought to be national policy.
The last time Anything significant happened and the rest of the country saw us was when everyone found out we don't pump our own gas and some of the people born here don't even know how. (an affliction I don't personally suffer from as a native, but mostly because I'm well travelled, And have been North of the Border before as well.)
In every sense of the word we ARE pioneers and do very much so try to be the First in the nation to do many things.
But honestly? we're docile, compared to elsewhere.
Gentle, non-aggressive, people rarely cut you off in traffic, they yield.
Not likely to defy the mask order.
