Just FYI we’re entering a summer Covid wave right now (especially western regions in the US); you can see it in the CDC wastewater plot here (and anecdotally a bunch of my friends are suddenly testing positive). www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVI...
There’s not a lot of official messaging lately but we all know what to do by now. If not getting sick is important to you, masks (especially good ones, and especially in crowded/poorly ventilated spaces) are helpful, testing before gatherings is helpful, being up to date on vaccines is helpful.
The Girlfriend™ and I still wear an N95 mask, anytime we enter a populated building or crowded outdoor space. It's not that big of an inconvenience. Yes, we get some funny looks, occasionally, but that beats a potential hospital stay any day of the week. (We've also been vaxed 6 times [Moderna]).
