Don’t expect any more shut downs here.

I think the public has given up and think vaccinating 12% of the population is herd immunity.

I could be wrong. But I think the public appetite for doing what’s sensible has passed.

Maybe that’s just my perception though.

I will continue to mask up and avoid crowds until not only am I vaccinated but most everyone else is too.
