Mask mandates are dropping like flies. Restrictions are being lowered. In my observation, it feels that they are going to the wayside not only because of dropping caseloads, but also because people are just more than ready to move on. There may be some complacence – a feeling that the ubiquitous Omicron has fostered a feeling of inevitability about exposure and eventual infection.
