5. Makes me want to buy a Kia.

I went to a local grocery store yesterday to drop off some of my five months' worth of plastic bags for recycling (from the daily newspaper and home delivery - I'm still not grocery shopping inside the store). There was a big sign on the door that masks are required to enter and they'll provide one if you need it. I didn't go inside any farther than necessary to drop off the bags, but as far as I could tell everybody was complying. We are back under a statewide mask order for all indoor public spaces because of a recent uptick in cases, and of course the GOP in the legislature are fighting it. Maybe the private businesses who don't want to kill off their customers, like the Kia dealership and the grocery store, will be the clue birds who poop on their heads.
