Re the above, if you’re looking for Paul’s personal inexpert advice:
- Now’s a good time to wear a mask in crowds and indoors.
- If you were considering delaying your latest booster to time it out for the winter peak, I’m not sure that’s such a good idea. A peak is already here. (Keep in mind that you may be able to get an extra booster mid-winter; in the US, nobody stops you from getting extra boosters AFAICT, though insurers may not pay for it this time.)
