Good afternoon.Yes are we back to normal? Not really we still have four key metric that we need to follow. we had a two weeks drop.the virus is still abating. Few new cases over the weekend.Hopefully soon things will quiet down here. That is good news for us.Not sure this news is all over the country.Let us hope things will quiet down.Oh yes pls wear your mask.do you know how to do this. Do not touch the outside of your mask.Do not touch your face. If you have a hard time breathing.The mask is not the cause of this. You are the cause.Anxiety sets in. Just slow down the breathing and you will be fine. portion of this is from Concord Monitor Concord NH These are some helpful hints. Have a good afternoon.

Good tip to avoid touching our masks. Our provincial government announced that most of Ontario will begin phase 2 of reopening this coming Friday. Finally the salons and barbers will reopen, as will dine-in restaurants and shopping malls.

I saw a guy wearing a mask that was absolutely filthy. I doubt it was doing him any good.

@BarBaraPrz Masks do not help the person wearing it, they protect those around you in case you sneeze or cough it contains the water droplets.

I have to say.... I have not worn a mask at all, no gloves either and I work just about everyday with the public. Alabama has a lot of this virus but so far a very good recovery number.

We can`t go back to normal yet since the virus still exists and active. I really do hope that the virus will be gone. I heard there`s already vaccine available in your country. Is this not true?

Things are slowly opening here but cases have dropped. I think our governor caved into pressure to open before he was ready. Hair salons, barber shop etc still closed. Outside dining allowed no eating inside yet. Good tips for creating masks. Anxiety certainly can be the cause of trouble breathing while wearing a mask. Hope you're feeling better as things start to reopen and get back to normal.

Not yet so everybody wear your masks! Our school is online until August and then we shall see. Japanese public schools in the Tokyo area went back with shorter days and some with half classes as of June 1. Our school plans the first two weeks of opening to have half the classes in the morning and half in the afternoon with no lunch on campus. Tokyo has traced about 25% of cases to hospital clusters and about 25% cases to "night spots" like bars, etc. Others are people who have helped their relatives and thus contracted the disease themselves. I hope that now we are on Step 2 and lots of companies are having their employees travel to work on the trains, that things don't pick up. I myself have no plan of going on a train or bus until September.

People want to go back to normal and that is why Arizona has one of the if not highest growth of cases...so yikes to that. I don't have a need to go out but if I did I would wear a mask without any hesitation and when my mom goes out she does wear a mask, she hates it but she still does it.

I am glad things are looking better in your area. We are getting hit right now. Seems someone at the local fish packing plant got it and has spread it to his/her coworkers, there are 124 employees that have tested positive. They have not yet tested the families. Contact tracing has begun. I know that number is not very big, but we only have 10,000 residents in the local area. One has to wonder where all those people have been and have they been following the rules?

@amadeo Anytime we are in public where we might get near other people we wear masks. We started doing this very early in this virus scare, I wish everyone would.
