I flew to Alabama last week - there was 99% mask wearing in all the airports and on the plane. The exception being several who were not wearing masks correctly ( noses out). In Alabama I saw masks everywhere we went and in the business building where I attended training masks were mandatory in all common areas.
In restaurants people took off their masks as soon as they were seated at their tables, but I was happy to see that the tables were distanced at all restaurants we went to and all servers were masked. We were told that would change this week due to the mask mandate being lifted. We went to one bar that did not enforce masks for patrons - and did not distance the tables. Didn't stay there for long.
I don't go out much when I am in my home state of WI, but when I have been out, most people are masked in stores and public areas.

Saw this on my Google news feed today. “At least 246 people in Michigan who were “fully vaccinated” against COVID-19 were later diagnosed with the virus, including 11 who were hospitalized and three who have died, according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
More than 1.8 million Michigan residents have completed their COVID-19 vaccinations, according to the state.
The case numbers, while minuscule, underscore two warnings made consistently by public health officials: that the vaccines provide no absolute guarantee against getting an infection, and that masks and other safety protocols remain important after being vaccinated as long as the pandemic continues to rage. “
I thought I copied the link to the article, but apparently I did not, I think it was from a local paper?

Our governor lifted the mask mandate about a month ago. Guess who's caught the 'Rona? Karma.

“At least 246 people in Michigan who were “fully vaccinated” against COVID-19 were later diagnosed with the virus, including 11 who were hospitalized and three who have died, according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Any mention of the strains they identified for these fully vaccinated people (and which vaccine they'd received)? There are very alarming variants running rampant and that are proving significantly harder to fight off with a vaccine. We are stuck in this loop until the whole world can reach collective immunity because until then, it's a terrible game of whack-a-mole every time a variant pops up. We need to export vaccines, continue social distancing and create variant-appropriate booster shots. There's no other way out of this. Shit, I'm mad. People need to stop pretending they're free to do whatever when they've been fully vaxxed. It's one hell of a dangerous game right now.

People need to stop pretending they're free to do whatever when they've been fully vaxxed. It's one hell of a dangerous game right now. They did, I did find some more information saying that the number is well within the range fir a vaccine with 94% efficacy, so I guess it isn’t as alarming as the headline made it, but still scary. I am sick and tired of people being so caviler too. Even being fully vaxxed we are masking up, washing hands and social distancing when outside. It angers me that some areas are acting like there was never a pandemic and everything is just fine. It is irresponsible and selfish.
