I said it once and I'll say it again! I'm going to stick to wearing my mask, especially in certain places.
Chicago is going to follow suit and drop the mask mandate and vaccine mandate like the rest of the state of Illinois come Feb. 28th. It's definitely good news to know that the virus numbers are dropping, BUT and that's a big but, just because we're seeing a decline doesn't mean we should just wild out and assume everything is over.
I know, we are all tired and we all want to move on. I am so done with this pandemic I don't know what to do. But at the same time, we are still officially in a pandemic and it is perfectly okay to want to stay protected and cautious because trust and believe there are many other variants of all kinds of viruses lurking. Do what's best for you and your family.
