We're done with mask mandates in schools in my part of town, they ended sometime before Christmas.

My 14yo daughter voluntarily still wears one all day at school, except in band class.

My 12yo son abandoned the mask after he caught COVID anyway.
There haven't been any here since May 2020. I like this.

The only place where I still wear a mask is when I go into the bank.

I haven't flown anywhere since 2019.  We'll be going to Playa del Carmen this summer and maybe things will be different by then.

I hope there is a bipartisan call to burn all masks in the next few weeks

Some medical offices here require masks still, I think. The last time I went to the dentist I had to wear one, which is silly. Went for a cleaning. My first question to the hygienist was whether or not I should remove it.

Duh.

Our dental office does a reasonable job I think, the hygienist and dentists are face shielded, they have barriers around the office, patients wear a mask except in the exam room, OK with me.  I have had shoulder surgery and a heart procedure amidst all this, they handled it pretty well I thought.

Our cruise in May required proof of vaccine, masks now are optional.  I'd probably wear one in the cafeteria.

I'll just take round 4 of Covid rather than wear a mask. Thanks.

Yeah our doc's office is still requiring masks.

Dentist office is requiring it in the waiting room but they're set up to just call you in from your car when your room is ready so it's really just wearing one from the front door to the chair.

Must doc offices are doing it based on CDC guidelines. Even when we didn't have overall mask mandates in CA, all doctors offices that I'm aware of were doing it.

It makes some sense. If you want to follow the GBD idea of "focused protection", there's a high overlap between patients at a doctor's office and those most vulnerable to COVID. I.e. my wife's office sees lots of elderly patients and those with chronic conditions often. The ones that are young and healthy come in for an annual checkup, if that.

And for some reason, folks who go to a doc's office can be sick, with something.

Why???


An omicron-specific booster could be ready by August, the CEO of U.S. biotech firm Moderna told Reuters, but the firm is still gathering clinical data to determine whether that vaccine would offer better protection than a new dose of the existing jab.

"We believe a booster will be needed. I don't know yet if it is going to be the existing vaccine, omicron-only, or bivalent: Omicron and existing vaccine, two mRNA in one dose."

I would get an Omicron enhanced booster in a few months if available and approved.
