The app for independent voices

Wow, I haven't been in SF for years, but I feel fortunate to live in a relatively sane California county. Actually, there are two foothills counties side by side that are pretty sane at this point. People locally fought back early on in 2020 about closing restaurants, etc., and except for a short period of closure at the worst of it, everything is open and pretty normal. You can walk into Costco without a mask. Restaurants are fine, gyms are open, people can sit inside coffee shops again and all that. My gym was open the whole time, never closed. No one ever has ever asked for proof of anything, thank goodness. In shops and supermarkets, you will see a few people with masks (probably transplants from the bay area), but most don't wear them and no one seems to notice or say anything. Many stores have a sign at the door stating "Masks Required if you are unvaccinated" but most of us just walk right on in ignoring the damn sign and nothing happens. If you have a doctor's appointment, they all require a mask, but that's about it. I hope things don't go downhill from this point as it's fairly normal now, more a bit annoying than anything just to see this stuff and to see solitary masked people walking along or in their car, etc.
