It is not even remotely close to being over in the US. After visiting SF for a week this month, I don't even know how someone in that bubble could think that, since it's clearly not over there either. It's much different and less problematic in SF than many other parts of the country, but absolutely not over there or anywhere else.

What's the most onerous restriction you saw in SF while you were here, I'm curious - maybe I'm biased from living here, but like I said for me it's been limited to masking and flashing my vaccine card at bars. Unless you consider indoor masking a big deal, in which case sure, it's nowhere near over in SF.

Clearly a large part of the country finds masking indoors onerous, ridiculous as that may seem.

Edit: look no further than the fact that this comment is downvoted for confirmation that some people feel this way.

It's being downvoted because it's silly to equate the pandemic with wearing a mask indoors. There's so much more to it than that and if nothing in your life reminds you of that, you're incredibly lucky.

But that, along with vaccine mandates, was cited by OP as the only visible reminders of the pandemic in SF. Where on earth did I equate the two?
