Despite the media hype for everything, COVID is basically over here in the tri-state. Our office is back 100%, few people are wearing masks on the subway, PATH, airports, etc. Indoor dining is at 100% and they’ve dropped the proof of vaccination except for Broadway shows. I suspect that if you go upstate, it will look very much like things are in Tennessee.
Same here in eastern TN. We’ve been “un-hyped” for many months — more than a year, I think — and it’s getting better. Hubby read that Covenant Health will no longer require patients to wear masks. Not sure if it’s true as I haven’t been to a Covenant facility lately.
