... such as? Keep in mind, he started the "trend" with the invites since he needs to clean out his freezers. It doesn't mean I'll attend even "invited".

Today my husband and I drove to the Niagara area. Stopped at Tim's along the way and also ran into a mall to use the washroom. I would say 90% of people were unmasked. Quite surprising to me. Here in Burlington, I would say at least 40% still masked at the grocery store but small town Canada, not so much.

... my point being - he hasn't sent out the invite since Covid started .. and why's that? And I'm not gonna to ask him either beecauussee Covid hasn't ended.
And yes, we keep 6' distance apart in talking when not wearing a mask.

... people "on the street" here in "Toronto" are still wearing their masks. I would say about 40% is about right now versus 80% last posted (a month ago) in regards to this. Some eateries have removed their "mask requirement in store" postings now but some haven't. Plus servers in these eateries still have their masks on along with pexi-glasses remaining at the cash registers - in all the restaurants, pharmacies, supermarkets, etc. that I go to.
Maybe he's a bit put off from that time you told a joke about a kitten being run over by a semi tractor and then laughed hysterically for a few minutes?

Yeah it looked like about 40% when I was there a couple weeks ago. Seems about the same in Vancouver too.
I don't mind people relaxing in the summer but I'm worried that they will fail to adapt again to the rising risk in the fall. This is why I'd prefer Public Health to steadily require mask usage. It's much easier for people (and less stressful by the way) to stick with routine patterns of behaviour, rather than keep changing it.
The public is currently being trained to be careless and to forget about COVID risk. That's not smart. If a new wave hits in fall/winter the public will have a much harder time adapting and getting their guards up again.
I think the plastic screens are here to stay.
I typically see 10-50% depending on location. Two places across the street, one will be 10%, one will be 50%.
I'm actually not clear on any demographic explanation. There doesn't seem to be much pattern that I can tell.
This morning, I found a partially worn sucker stuck to the bottom of a park bench. Cherry! It was tasty!

The US has marked 1 million COVID deaths. The disease is now the third largest cause of death in the US, after heart disease and cancer.
A friend of mine had a trip to Texas and caught COVID while there. She's a very healthy 40 year old.
She tested positive at the end of March and is still testing positive in PCR tests today. So she's been testing positive for 5 weeks!

It's 1 million deaths while testing positive for Covid but it's definitely not 1 million Covid deaths.

Another risk factor to consider on Covid mortality - air pollution. Above link is open (no paywall).
I say the air in the modern office with those beautifully-lined carpets (aside from everybody's breaths) is sufficient to kill you, let alone outside pollution ... lol.
