Here in South Carolina where only 48% are vaccinated, they have quit 
counting Covid cases so we can report our numbers as low. (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!!
