sometimes they even ask you to put it on during remote job interviews (which makes it extra ridiculous)

What the actual … :blobcatnomouth: ?

Wow that’s crazy. Is it different between cities and rural areas? In the Southern US, everything is pretty much 98% back to normal. You see under 1% mask usage, maybe 2% at the most in some places in Tennessee, Georgia and Florida (and I’m sure others). No mask requirements anywhere (except maybe the doctor or dentist? I dunno, haven’t been in a while). I can’t speak for the bigger cities; left Chicago in 2021. It was a nightmare there. I never wore a mask and drove to Indiana to shop or ordered groceries online. But my friends tell me it’s pretty much back to normal, so ?

That’s why that e-mail was so weird. Some trade shows still have weird vax or test mandates, but most don’t care. There is a swing dance organization in my state that’s currently being sued for trying to enforce the clot-shot in order to dance (which I think is illegal in TN due to legislation passed last year, but is not enforced).

PyCascades is way in the north west in the super blue area. I don’t talk to my Seattle friends much so I don’t know what it’s like there.
