12. We have an indoor mask mandate here in Illinois.

It was in effect from March 2020 to early June 2021, lifted for a while when CDC stupidly said vaccinated people didn't need masks, then reinstated in August when cases started trending upward.

The vast majority of people I see when I go shopping are masking properly (and of course I'm masking myself), and about 2/3 of adults here are vaxxed. This state hasn't had anything remotely resembling the kind of surge Texas, Florida, and other red states with lunatics for governors gave been having. I'm really glad I live here.
