Covid restrictions are returning with a vengeance
Friends from my hometown are often shocked when they come visit me in the DC area and find that many Americans are still adhering to long-expired Covid restrictions. Thankfully I recently moved to the suburbs, but whenever I travel into the city — or even Arlington or Alexandria — for work, it’s not uncommon to see people driving alone in their cars with a mask over their face. People here still wear N95s into the grocery store, “socially distance” and otherwise behave like paranoid hypochondriacs. We are now more than three years out from the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
