I am hopeful that after the most vulnerable portion of the US population is inoculated with one of the new vaccines, that life can return to normal. I wear a mask because it is required in public, but it is a real pain. It appears to me that we have 2 distinct sets of opinions on this issue in the US right now. Those that are terrified that they will catch a deadly virus and those that think the pandemic is a control mechanism from the government and the medical community. Seems like the requirement for masks is based on how many ICU beds are available in my area and that number is rather low at the moment. Perhaps the number of people requiring hospitalization will decrease to a point where business can return to normal after a vaccine is widely available. It can't come soon enough for me.
