Sounds like a good choice of habitat, Sue!

Our family lives in a county where the health department has issued mask mandates for all schools (public and private), but at this point not for stores, walking around outdoors, etc. So it's a mixed bag, with about half of the people masking in grocery stores, at this point.

Everything changes if you've been unwise (or unlucky) enough to be subjected to a COVID test and found guilty. Then you, any co-habitants, and anyone they can weasel out with their 'contact tracing' procedures, become the focus of their 'benevolent' attentions.

I can attest that the county (and state, at that point) health department involvement was a chilling and terrifying experience, for me. Any illusion of having privacy in our lives has been shattered.
