I still go shopping etc early in the morning when there's no crowds and don't wear a mask. If I HAVE to go during the day or prime time weekends, I'll wear a mask. Only about 20% or less of folks still wear them around here. Still religious about hand washing, sanitizing and not touching my face when "unclean".

I wear an N95 everywhere. However today I got my hair glopped so not even a mask!

I'm going shopping this morning (NOT for baby food) but I will look in that section and see where we are. What do/can young parents do instead I wonder?
:(
We could roll back the re-negotiated NAFTA agreement and the protectionist 17.5% Tariff from 2017 and import all we need from Canada. Then we could start breaking the monopolies.

PS I came from a time when my family made their own formula. It was a mix of evaporated milk (Pet to be exact), water and Karo syrup. I'm sure it's on the internet. That will work in the short term.

Around my area it's pretty bad. That's half of my Facebook feed, pictures of empty shelves. I think part of it is just like the chlorine shortage last year. The news talked about it and people panic bought more than they needed and made it way worse. All the Roe vs Wade stuff and can't even feed the ones already here.

Ok numbers look good. The percentage of public masking is 1% or lower. I keep seeing a slow increase in natl. numbers. So, I expect to see it here in 3 weeks or so. Depends on layovers or vacationers maybe? Screenshot_20220521-222657.png
I kept thinking where have I seen this pattern before?

Looks like a heartbeat without the below the line parts.
If we see a small bump in the summer, is a larger bump coming for winter? And will it be an increase as large as the last one? That would be significant.

We are seeing a spike right now

You can dial down and see how your county is doing.

This CTV website compares the number of COVID cases in American states & Canadian provinces/territories.

(the webpage takes about 10 seconds to load up)

All mask mandates have lifted in Chicago, and I suspect most of Illinois. It is surreal to take an Uber, walk into a store, even go through the airports with absolutely no mask! About a quarter of the people still wear them, but it is up to the individual...

Those are great . I scheduled my 4 th shot (2nd booster) for Friday . I choose the Pfizer because my previous 3 shots were Moderna. I overheard a coworker today saying she was in close contact with a covid positive patient and was never told she was covid positive. She was upset and rightfully so. I am hearing things about a flu going around and it’s like … flu? It’s not flu season . Last I heard only 3 positives in the hospital . But it’s sloppy so who really knows. I know for sure there is a lot of school children getting it. Canceled my gym membership at just the right time.
