I have been noticing more people wearing masks, again.
I had stopped masking when I grocery shop since I go at 6:30 am and there are very few other customers. Even when I went to Aldi when they open at 9, there were few customers. Now there are quite a few cars in the lot when I get there. Still not many at Kroger or Meijer, that early, but I'm going back to masking.
Dining out is still beyond my comfort zone. In the last 3 years I've eating restaurants exactly twice. Once inside, this year for my birthday, and once outside when my best friend came to visit, last year. The next day she tested positive for Covid. Go figure. Fortunately we got her Paxlovid and she sailed through, pretty much symptom free and I never tested positive.
