Thank you!
Yeah, I'm not going to throw caution to the wind. But mask mandates here have largely been removed, so now personal decisions are coming into play. I still wear a mask indoors in enclosed public places. In those places I'm exposed to anywhere from 10-15% unmasked individuals, to as high as 80% or so, varying by the place & clientele. Also for reference, my immediate local area is over 70% 'fully' vaxxed, with over 80% having received at least one shot. So, we're reasonably vaxxed - though not exceptionally vaxxed.
Given the recent drastic drop in infections, I was getting inclined to fully 'normalize'. But, the decline is deceiving. My local daily infection numbers are still substantive, IMO. And even more concerning, they have seemingly stopped their decline the past two weeks - and plateaued.
Looking at the numbers in terms of absolute quantity, rather than as a geometric decline, I can see there's enough infection and virus floating around to be of a concern. And that has been a dampener on my desire of finally going free.
So, it looks like masks indoors, for me, for now!
