I was in Wegmans yesterday & the majority of the people did NOT wear a mask. When will our government realize that masks protect from breakthrough infections & from the unvaccinated. Our numbers will continue to go up in Chautauqua county until more people are vaccinated & wear masks. My late husband was fully vaccinated but still contracted Covid & eventually died. When will people learn that vaccination does not protect 100%?
