The City of Keene rescinded its mask mandate last week. I don’t know which data they might have looked at, but there is still a lot of virus around in the air. In my small grocery store example I presented in the Feb. 11th posting, where the odds were 99% to have one or more covid-positive people there in the store when I’m there, now it’s down to 96%!
Hooray, let’s celebrate and rip off those masks!
Below is a chart with some historical context, showing the two Keene mask mandates. Of course I would have waited for a hospitalization rate down to that of last July, or the grocery store odds down to 10%. If the next variant doesn’t get here too soon, I am hopeful that we might see similar low levels this coming summer.
