I'm in Oakland County, 2nd largest county in Michigan and one where Biden won by 14pts. Mask usage is at its lowest I've seen since the start of the pandemic. Bars and restaurants are packed. Downtown Royal Oak and Ferndale, likely one of the bluest areas of the state outside of Detroit or Ann Arbor, has mostly forgone mask wearing. Most people in Michigan are "done" with covid and our numbers show exactly that unfortunately.
