Huh, interesting. It's exactly the opposite here in NYC. Lots of people are walking around without masks in the beautiful spring weather, and it's wonderful to see. About 90% of the unmasked are black or Hispanic.
I also find it interesting that NYC's daily COVID hospitalization rate is exactly the same now as it was a year ago - when the mask mandates were freshly imposed and there was no vaccine. Last year, it continued to slowly drop through the summer, reaching a nadir of < 10 per day by the fall before starting to pick up again in November. Wonder what's going to happen this year?
