Same. Fortunately, our school has already made the decision that no matter how the advice changes, our current protocols are going to stay in place through the end of the school year simply because it makes no sense to start changing rules with a couple of weeks left. I doubt we'll require masks in the fall, but that will ultimately depend on community spread over the summer months and a final decision won't be made until August. But right now, community spread is declining but still fairly substantial in our area (15 to 20 daily cases per 100K) so it doesn't make sense to drop the mask mandate for an entirely unvaccinated group. Especially not with only 14 days left in the school year.
Which store did you end up going to? My husband went to our closest Walmart over the weekend and said it was still majority masked but slightly more unmasking than the week priorI grocery shopped maskless over the weekend for the first time in over a year! (second shot mid March). It sure takes some getting used to.
I'm guessing it was busy too. Places do not seem to have any issues with patrons but every place we've been to has had staff shortages (some severe).And we returned to the rebel Mexican restaurant that never did follow the mask mandate. I don't hold a grudge. I've been going for 30 years and missed them the past year.
You are wrong! Children are not super spreaders of the virus. Many schools have been in session ALL year, with no mask mandates and very, very few cases. All of the schools in my state have dropped the masks and there will be no masks next year. You need to talk with a therapist about your paranoia of the virus.
And today I found out there was a convention for concrete .Looks like Vegas is set to host it's first big convention since the shutdown...World of Concrete! I was actually at the last WOC convention...

Same here. K through 5 was able to go back full time last month, but grades 6-12 they were hoping to get back full time, but with the numbers the way they are and being so close to the end of the school year, they said they won't be changing anything. But that they have high hopes to get everyone back full time in the fall.
Then today they gave a new mandate for day care centers that kids 2 and up now have to wear masks indoors and outdoors. I don't see this going well.
We went to the Walmart Neighborhood Market. Went on Saturday afternoon, something else I've avoided for the past year.Which store did you end up going to? My husband went to our closest Walmart over the weekend and said it was still majority masked but slightly more unmasking than the week prior

Oh you were brave going on a Saturday afternoon but glad that first step was made for you I know I'll be a tad longer but I can say that being fully vaccinated did give a level of ease I didn't have before. Now we just have a ton of hand sanitizer...my husband just had to buy a big huge bottle at Costco in the late fall because it was a good price (we didn't need it lol).We went to the Walmart Neighborhood Market.

Don Chilitos was indeed pretty busy. It was nice to see. When we went that one time during the pandemic (before we realized they weren't wearing masks and swore off for a while) business was very slow. Maybe they'll make it to the other side of this after all. Our son was in town, so all 5 of us got to go. It felt so normal. It was great.
Well, I didn't set out to go on a Saturday afternoon. Just had a really busy weekend and my son come home spur of the moment and no food in the house. So off we went! I'm working hard on retraining my brain to be OK without the mask. I will say that I have not shied away from going the places I wanted/needed to go, but with masks and lots of caution for the past year. So I've been in an out of Walmart, Target, Hobby Lobby, JoAnns and the like many times during the pandemic. Sometimes many times a week. Sometimes all in one day! But it still feels strange to do it maskless. I can't even imagine the adjustment for people who have stayed home and only used home delivery all that time. People are in for a big adjustment.Oh you were brave going on a Saturday afternoon but glad that first step was made for you I know I'll be a tad longer but I can say that being fully vaccinated did give a level of ease I didn't have before.

I've seen pretty much all the places be busy enough just not enough staff (which is good that places are busy though) I think wherever places did patio expansions that should help out too though this rainy weather hasn't been working for that!
So nice that y'all had that little slice of normal
Same for us we went out too armed with masks, hand sanitizer and all though sometimes we went through lulls in eating out.Well, I didn't set out to go on a Saturday afternoon.

Don Chilitos is a cafeteria style restaurant, so they at least didn't have to maintain wait staff. Maybe that helped? Who knows. But they seemed to be doing just fine. At least from our side of the counter.
We watched the very end of the PGA tournament on Sunday when Phil Mickelson was on his last hole and my goodness not only the crowd but how congested they were AND probably most surprising was they were barely letting Phil even get to the hole. Security had sorta lost the control there for a minute. It was so strange seeing how close everyone was and to the golfers (who normally they keep some sort of distance to the golfers). That is def. going to be an adjustment. Both my husband and I remarked it was probably pent up demand and excitement (not that golf hasn't been going with crowds but just all the recent CDC adjustments more of what we were thinking).Watching the hockey game last night it was both uplifting and alarming to see all those people there. It’s going to take me awhile to retrain my brain that it’s okay for that to happen.
