I do feel like things are easier now that we're not as worried about surface transmission, yes! But I am pretty tired of mask-wearing - I mean, I always wear one when I go out, but I wish I had access to a private outdoor space like a patio/yard/deck so I could just sit outside without a mask. We do sit outside without masks sometimes - the park near us has circles marked on the ground for people to sit in that are more than six feet apart, so we've done that on days when it hasn't been super-crowded - and there's a Whole Foods with an uncrowded patio area where I've had a few outdoor lattes - but mostly when we're out we're walking in semi-crowded places so our masks stay on. We did go to the beach today, which was great: we kept our masks on when we were on the boardwalk, but took them off when we were on the sand, and that felt really good.
