Severe cases in my prefecture have been trending upwards and regular cases have been affecting my workplace quite a bit lately.

If things get much worse, there will definitely be more voluntary lockdowns.

Mask usage elimination is nowhere to be found.

Come to USA where most people don't wear them anymore.   Corona fatigue happened about a year ago and hardly anyone gives a fuck anymore.   Time to start living life instead of holed up in a bunker.

And that's why the death rate to Covid-19 is 3.4 times higher in the USA compared to Japan (normalized for population difference)
0.35 per million per day in Japan vs 1.2 per million per day in the USA.

Wearing a mask is not being holed up in a bunker, it's just common decency to your fellow human beings. I still wear them in stores and store owners here do still as well, although mask requirements have been dropped for most indoor settings here in Ontario. At least half the people here still use them, it's very common to see people walking around with a mask on.

A lot of things are still done online, I can do my banking through WebEx when needing to talk to a person. Better for the environment as well, no need to drive there!
