We had to go to the mall yesterday. I say had to because a friend of ours wanted to buy a new iPad and Ben offered to purchase it for her with his education discount.
It was an absolute zoo. As I've gotten older my discomfort in large crowds has been increasing, and I welcomed last year's lockdown with open arms. I would say that fully 75% of the people we encountered yesterday were unmasked. Forget about any kind of social distancing. The Apple Store, thankfully, required masks (and provided them to patrons who did not bring their own), but social distancing was still a joke.
At this point I have no faith whatsoever the human race is going to dig itself out of this pandemic, although I do applaud those entities that are requiring proof of vaccination or masks to be allowed to participate in whatever function they're hosting.
Here in PA, if you're vaccinated masks aren't required, though I know the vast majority of unmaksed people I see are not vaccinated.
