Interesting that places like Texas/Florida/Nashville/Charlotte/Phoenix are booming right now, while the west coast and parts of the north east *seem* to not be doing so hot. Big policy failure in a lot of states/cities.
Anyone on here know how Orange County/San Diego area have fared throughout this?
It's still wild to me that places are just now dropping mandates... Texas hasn't had anything in over a year and a half LOL.

Yes, and even though Brazilian Federal government is this nightmare, all states and municipalities followed very strict protocols since the very beginning.
Still, urban life is thriving everywhere, people are traveling like crazy. It's hard to compare because it's been so long ago, but my feeling is things are busier today than back in 2019.
Anyway, today I took transit for the first time without a mask. As mask mandates on other public spaces were gone at some point in 2021, having to use them only in the transit was a nuisance. But people adhered completely. And even today almost everybody was using it. Probably the news haven't reached them.
