I had a feeling. Even though the pandemic is under control, the latest variants are concerning. People that have successfully avoided COVID cases for two years are showing off their positive tests. COVID deaths have tapered off dramatically, but we're still inching toward one million US fatalities.
While I've been a little more lax about wearing a mask in public, I'm still wearing one more often than not. When the mask mandate has lifted (or "adjusted") about a third of students and teachers in my schools kept theirs on. Now I'd say it's less than one quarter. I might remove mine if I'm at least six feet away from any student. It's Spring, I have seasonal allergies, but every time I get a little nasal drip or eat something bland, I get a little anxious. For the immunocompromised and other parts of the population, COVID is still a landmine. For that, the mask stays on.
