Seemed busier on the streets today and some of my co-workers said their Metra trains from the suburbs were MUCH more packed today than last week or even last year before the latest surge. The place we went to pick up lunch had at least double the line it had the other 3 times I had visited back in November/December. It was out the door.
I think *most* people are just over it all - masks and all. My company lifted mask requirements when Chicago and Illinois did. Only a few people on my floor are still wearing their masks around. Everyone else has been over it. Even 2 weeks ago when we came back after the surge, half of everyone would walk around without it on anyway and nobody cared. Ultimately, we had a shot in the beginning to really "eradicate" this thing and didn't. Now we'll be living with it in the background hopefully at decently low levels. People are beginning to accept this and just get on with their lives again.
