Covid is and has been effectively over in a lot of places. In Texas, outside of major cities, virtually no one ever wore a mask since the start, to give you an idea. Even in major cities, interest is fading.
Covid doesn't come up in conversations anymore, in my circles. Around here it seems like the MSM is the only one interested in keeping it in people's attention, you know, for the clicks.
Covid's perceived relevance seems more and more dependent on where you live.
- Ancapistani 5y agoI'm in the Ozarks, on the border of Arkansas and Missouri Outside of large public gatherings, where there are always a handful of people wearing masks, I've not seen anyone wearing a mask in public here since mid-2020. COVID restrictions are only a "thing" for most people here when we need to physically interact with the rest of the country/world. I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to attend PyCon this year (and if it's worth it to me), and had absolutely no reference as to what "proof of full vaccination" means to them. I've never even seen a vaccine card in person. My doctor (GP) doesn't offer COVID vaccination at all, and the first couple of places I called didn't seem to know what documentation was provided. I had to call a chain pharmacy to find anyone that seemed confident that they knew what I was talking about. Similarly, I've recently started seeing posts online about not being able to find rapid COVID tests. I already have a handful at home, but thinking there might be a shortage I checked while I was out shopping - both Walmart and Walgreens in my town are fully stocked, and there are even some gas stations that have them at the checkout. The "post-COVID world" is very different depending on the population density and prevailing political views of where you live.
