We rely on tourism for summer business, so that was low this year. School is back in, stores are open with Plastic windows everywhere, and it is finally seeming to be business as usual. Sales volume is way down though, unless you sell food or home renovation supplies. All the trades and jobbers are employed, but the biggest projects are still on hold. The usual Blackhawk and dual-rotor helis are travelling through again after 6 months of not seeing them (they gas up and overnight here), And large road projects are Going ahead.
No civil unrest here but that’s due to the population makeup and a rifles in every second home.

In parts unknown the fake new norm is cops paid to hang out at supermarkets and pretend to enforce mask mandates but usually just turn their backs so they don't have to deal with me as I pass by.
Seems to be a few decent ones left.

Actual police do that? Yikes

That's' the big employment opportunity of the virus hysteria -- men standing around at the entrance to stores, enforcing the mask rule. What a waste of manpower.
