New Mexico parks and government land (which is basically the whole state) were shut down most of the time. Later they were open but insane.
I was hiking with a group of Israelis in the Lincoln forest, no people near and ordered (by a park ranger who looked like he was going to draw his weapon) to put a mask on.
He drove his off road buggy thing over a mile to order us to put masks on and then kept following us at a distance for an hour.
Dunno. But plants with big leaves have been proven to filter out all sorts of nasty things in indoor air. As does the “living” soil they are planted in.
Bringing a little outdoors inside is a good thing.
We no longer report data on cases following vaccination. We used to publish data on the vaccination status of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths to help understand the impact of vaccination on COVID-19. We can no longer use this data for this purpose for the following reasons.
A rapid increase in cases (starting in December 2021) led to changes in testing policies in order to preserve testing capacity. People at high risk of severe disease were now prioritized for laboratory testing. These same people were also prioritized for COVID-19 boosters. This meant that the people being tested were more likely than the general population to have received boosters and to get severe illness. This leads to a data bias which could cause people to mistakenly conclude that more vaccines lead to severe disease.
