Scientists call 'endemic' announcement premature.

The number I am looking for is 'positive rate (percentage of positive over all tests), and I also am leary because of omnicron b.a2
I hadn't heard much about BA2 until just recently. It appears it is both more contagious and more deadly. This could be a major buzz kill. I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk about it on the media and also the forums.

We had extremely high positivity rates here in AZ. I will feel better when it gets back around 5%. It's currently 11%.
 

After over 2 years in isolation I finally broke down & got my hair cut. And I have a lot of hair. My wife came into the shop & was astonished at the piles of white hair on their floor by my chair. After 2 Pfizer jabs & the booster, I felt I ran decent odds.
I also grew my hair out. It's short again now.

NYS at as a whole has a 7 day average of 2.1%, with my county about 3.9% Since I am basically doing shopping/errands/etc for my elderly mother, my 'feel good' is a local 7 day average of 2%. It is feeling more relaxed, but I will still be using my mask when shopping until the local numbers get below a positive rate of 2%.
 
You haven't been out enough in two years to have your hair cut? If you don't mind my asking, how are you coping? This seems like a torturous existence.

It's starting to bother me. I'm getting in cut in the spring at Fast Eddie's.
