Really good Sarah. You definitely write from the heart.
Your experience is different from mine but I have gone back to masking in stores etc. Also 2x/week rapid tests.
I look at the unmasked and wonder how many are unvaccinated. The deal here in Rhode Island is that you should mask if you are unvaccinated but there is no mandate, and I feel like only the vaccinated (and the unwillingly unvaccinated) give enough of a shit to mask up .
