The actual numbers everywhere are probably substantially higher. Very little testing is taking place and folks are being very casual about it. We know a woman who contacted it in Hawaii and actually flew home within 5 days of testing positive. We just returned from a Rick Steves Europe tour. A couple who was doing back to back tours had to cancel our tour because they got Covid on the first tour. Through the end of May about 2.1% of the folks on Rick Steves tours got Covid while on the tour. Luckily, the new variants seem to be much less severe. We avoid crowds as much as possible, and mask when we can’t. We always mask on public transit and indoors. We’ve had all of the vaccinations available to us including the second bi-valent booster. If you are of a “certain age” or have other health issues it’s probably best to continue to be careful. I suspect younger people can be less worried unless of course they are around high risk people they could then give Covid.
