Our numbers are significantly down too, so it's not just that the war is taking top billing. There are no mask mandates at either my Massachusetts workplace, or at the school where our community band rehearses. Also no mandates in Maine and NH stores and restaurants.

The mask mandate is lifted here next Monday.
All remaining restrictions at the provincial level April 27th.
We are going back to the office (2 days per week) sometime in April for the first time since March 2020.
I think the provincial government approach is to just let it run its course at this point. If you are vaccinated it is usually no worse than a bad cold. And if you are not, well that's pretty stupid of you and you get what you deserve.
We still have federal mandates:

- no unvaccinated non-citizens admitted

I should add that at my work (at a bank) if you are unvaccinated you MUST work from home at least for the foreseeable future.

It sounds like it is to me. Originally they were going to just fire unvaccinated people but I think they decided against that.

That's the best excuse I've heard so far.
I get a flu shot every year, so I'm fine with getting a VID shot every year too.
I don't want to catch either of them.
