Covid has plateaued in Seattle for the moment, but every hospital is very full. Lots of “normal” (not Covid) droplet isolation though. We didn’t have that last year.

Right now it depends on where you live, and the vaccination status of your community. There are a number of breakthrough cases from what I’m reading.

Stay safe, mask up, avoid inconsiderate assholes
