I look at our local county numbers every weekday. 2 weeks ago we started at 139, yesterday we were at 102; 11 of those are vaccinated. I wish they'd break down the numbers a little more; like age groups & pre-existing conditions., but i know they're sensitive to privacy stuff.
But yeah, even being vaccinated I still do worry about catching it. I started wearing the mask more often. I'm going to a concert end of the month and masks are required. So we see the required "I'll never come there for a show again" posts on their FB page. These people dont realize if they keep dropping options that require a mask or a shot, eventually they'll just be sitting at home on their ass. Fine.
But I digress............
