  1. Not surprised there are more cases every day. Lots of people not wearing masks now, not in the stores, not on the street.

  2. The mask mandate needs to be reinstated indoors. There is no way to tell who has a vaccine and who does not, and there are people without vaccines walking into stores unmasked. Bars and restaurants are packed with maskless customers. If you wanted to create an experiment for the creation of more deadly, vaccine resistant variants, this is it.
