We mask whenever indoors in public spaces, which is almost never. My kids are homeschooled, I am unemployed, my spouse is an RN at a small hospital where masking is still required for staff (but notably not for patients—you will sometimes see these ridiculous FB photos of smiling unmasked octogenarians surrounded by double-masked medical workers). None of us has even had a cold for quite a long time, many months at least. We are all fully vaxxed.

AFAIK, the situation at the local school is okay? I see newsletter pictures where maybe 1% of the people are masked, and things appear to be normal (I mean, the kids look bored and depressed). I have to wonder if they’re hiding and removing their masks to take the pictures, however.

A close lib friend of mine who lives on the West Coast told me he had covid pretty badly for a week about a month ago.

Going from the wastewater data alone, last year was the worst of the pandemic.

If libs admit that there is any kind of problem, they will blame Biden / Republicans and say we just need to vote more progressives into power. Conservatives will not admit that there is a problem. If they come to that point, they will find a way to blame Jews / Muslims / the Chinese / the globalhomo agenda.

A couple of wealthy boomer neighbors are about to vacation in Florida for a month, presumably unmasked. I’m kind of wondering if they’re going to come back alive.
