Re: Quick Check on COVID Lockdowns (Yasuaki Kudo)

[Arthur Torrey]

Here in Metro-Boston MA, US (FSF home town) there are a few places where masks 
are still required, most notably our transit system (buses and subways, etc.) 
and hospitals / medical facilities...  I think they also require them in K-12 
schools.

Otherwise masks are optional and it seems most folks are not wearing them...  
Some are, but it definitely is a question of personal preference.

Reportedly we are seeing a slight increase in the numbers of cases, but not an 
extreme problem level.  The US CDC also recently started suggesting a second 
booster shot for some folks although it is a bit controversial, with many 
suggesting that it might be better to delay it until closer to the start of the 
next flu season.
