Data Report

I live in the Washington, DC metropolitan area where masking and other mitigation measures were encouraged and followed, but that all went to the wayside in the last year or so. I'm still not taking public transportation, but when I walk in the street and a bus drives by, I don't see many people wearing masks —- maybe just one or two occasionally. I'm the only person left in my entire complex wearing a mask every time I leave my apartment. At the grocery store (where I go sporadically as I prefer to get my groceries delivered) I'm lucky if I run across one single masked person at this point. The staff at my vet clinic stopped masking early/mid-2022 as well as many other veterinary and human clinics. County government facilities and hospitals were the last stronghold, but they also lifted the mask mandate in March this year. Sadly, most people have moved on and act as if covid is over.
