I live in northern VA. Sure seems like it. I'm alright with opening up responsibly but jeez, wear a mask.

Edit: mask wearing might be different by area looking at other comments - am relieved to hear!

Maryland (dc suburbs) has a good balance. Stuff reopening but everyone is in a mask.

Yep. I went to a yoga class on Friday. If thousands can gather to protest I can resume the “necessary” aspects of my life.

I think D2 does have priorities in order. I’ve been going to the gym since it opened 3 weeks ago. My physical, mental and emotional health are important to me. I do not have any contact with anyone at risk. That’s my one “risky behavior” and I’m ok with it. It’s a personal choice, and not illegal. Everyone there is taking the same calculated risk.

Lots of things opening here in Texas, people are awful at wearing masks and our case, death, and hospitalization counts are all steadily ticking up. The R number is still around 1 but I can’t help but think that’s gonna start ticking up.

And while they are important, I can’t imagine the protests are going to be good for containment. Even with contact tracing, it’s not like you can contact trace through a protest so folks won’t even know.

In Southborough...but agree that most people aren’t social distancing anymore 😪 hoping the masks at least stay and we don’t get complacent.

Yea! Chicago suburbs. Not quite open. Restaurants are closed but Orangetheory has reopened while the local gyms are shut! People stopped wearing 😷 nor are they caring much about social distancing. It’s somewhat a little relief that the store associates are wearing masks though. I went for groceries but I’m sticking with quarantining until the vaccines come out

Dallas... was out yesterday to do a dinner pick up and man people are just chilling like a villain. No masks and no social distancing. Except maybe the employees of the restaurant.

Chicago downtown and north side is packed and nobody even people walking their dogs are wearing masks smh patios and outdoor seating is open. lol I even understand grabbing a quick beer / glass of wine but there’s literally people in going out clothes acting like everything is Norma

Dallas, everything back to normal for me. No mask, no gloves. Only thing that changes is I do an extra wipe before and after gym machines.

Florida. Yes

Echo above. Florida is open. I see few people in masks.

No. SF East Bay.

Not close, in NJ here. Some restaurants can open tomorrow for outdoor eating only. Many retail stores closed until next week. And most recreational activities still shut down until further notice

Now that Democrats and the media are okay with it, it’s okay

Toronto. We are still 70% closed.

Yeah, it is over. Damn the policies.
