There are currently no lockdowns, but we had an eight-month long one last winter and plenty of people are afraid of having it repeated. Indoor mask mandates yes, I think there's only one state that lifted it, but could be one or two more, I'm not sure. Vaccine isn't mandated yet, we currently have the same system as France where you need to show proof of vaccine, recovery or negative test to enter restaurants, bars, clubs, cinemas, gyms, etc. Tests are free as of now, but will have to be paid out of pocket starting on Oct 11. There's a lot of talk about dropping the test option, i.e. make the current system a vaccine/recovered only one, so basically vaccine passports. Many people expect this to happen (or a vaccine mandate) after the election. Some states have implemented a system where venues can choose whether or not they allow guests with negative tests, and if they opt for vaxxed and recovered only, the remaining restrictions (masks and distancing mainly) are lifted for the venue. This regulation is currently in effect in five or six states I believe, and others might follow.
