I used to attend theater, concerts, ballet and opera performances regularly. I will not be returning to see live performances any time soon. I lost a friend to covid this week, so I am even warier of crowds than I was before. I don't trust people to wear masks properly. I see people with ill-fitting masks every time I shop. I regularly see people who do not cover their noses. I've even seen people remove their masks in stores. I now shop during off-peak hours so that I encounter fewer people.
In December, Fauci said that 90% of the population needs to be vaccinated in order for us to achieve herd immunity. Because of the amount of vaccine hesitancy out there, I'll be surprised if we are able to vaccinate 90% of the people.
