Trying to break free of masks, for now
BY MAKENZIE WHITTLE
The Bulletin
A sign at
Drake Park re-
minds visitors
exiting the
river at Mir-
ror Pond of
the COVID-19
protocols
from before
the mandates
were lifted
June 30.
F
or some, it was a literal breath of fresh
air . Others were more cautious about
ditching the cloth masks that they’ve
been diligently wearing for 15 months when
Oregon lifted its mask requirements June
30. With the rise in cases of the delta variant,
it may be that we have to grab our masks
once again, but for now, we at GO! Maga-
zine wanted to know the overall feelings of
a few visitors to Drake Park on Tuesday on
how it felt to go maskless again.
Cassie and Nate Goodluck-Johnson, of
New Mexico and Portland respectively, both
live in an area of Mexico where mandates on
mask-wearing have not yet been lifted.
“It feels weird being here,” Cassie said,
“We got vaccinated, so it’s awesome, but just
feels really weird — like it’s normal again.”
“It does feel normal,” Nate added, “It’s like
you do still kind of socially distance from
people. Like if I’m in lines for things I still
take, like, four steps back. But kind of part of
that is, I guess, respect for the other people
if they are maybe not vaccinated or things
like that”
Both agree that they’ll continue to listen
to the officials at both the Centers for Dis-
ease Control and in Mexico for guidance on

when to wear and not to wear a mask in the
future.
“I’ll go with the experts,” Nate said.
Liam Brown, 20, visiting from San Fran-
cisco, felt fantastic when California lifted
their mandates on June 15. “It was amazing.”
But the elation was short-lived. He is
currently attending school in Long Beach,
which is in Los Angeles County, where of-
ficials have once again enacted mask man-
dates in indoor public spaces, regardless of
vaccination status due to rising COVID-19
cases there.
“It was kind of a bummer. … I was in the
movie times for the week of july 29

There was nothing to do. And then as soon
as they lifted it, everything started opening
back up and got our hopes up.”
That hope was to have the mandates lift
and never come back but, “Now it looks like
it’s going back to it with the delta … all the
strains,” he said. “I’m disappointed that I got
my hopes up that it was over.”
Locally, Carmen Lawson, 42, of Red-
mond, teaches in Madras and was relieved
to have the mandates lifted.

compounded on my lifestyle because of
the protocols I’ve had to put into place as a
teacher,” she said, “It’s important to me that
we all stay safe, absolutely. I got my vaccine
as soon as I had an opportunity to. But of
course, I was happy when I didn’t have to
wear a mask anymore.”
Even so, she said that in the event that we
do have to mask up again like they are do-
ing in Los Angeles County, she’s willing to
do whatever will keep people safe, but “more
importantly whatever will keep students in
school.”
She recognizes that all parts of Central
Oregon have varying views on masks and
so she hopes that “whatever will appease the
general public of whatever area … so that
parents will feel happy sending their stu-
dents to school … whatever will help stu-
dents be in school and be safe.”
On Tuesday, the CDC announced a new
recommendation for people to wear masks
in areas of “substantial or high transmis-
sion” in order to help curb the spread of the
Delta variant. And late Tuesday, the Oregon
Health Authority also recommended uni-
versal mask use indoors, so it’s time to break
out the masks once again in order to some-
day break free for good.
