(In reality, our numbers are still very high.) Nobody wears a mask, indoors or outdoors. I still wear mine and get a lot of hostile glares. My granddaughter is the only one in her 4th grade class wearing a mask. She has been getting a lot of bullying but refuses to take it off. Supposedly, the variant that is in Europe now is headed this way. It will be impossible to get people to wear masks again. It?s still better than living in Ukraine, though!!
