The Crowd Crowded the Concert

When I went to the public market, I was surprised to see the locals being in such a situation. It was a concert for a cause with the theme zero waste thing in Malcolm Square, Baguio City, Philippines.I took the picture from the foot bridge connected to the city's market. I do love watching live bands but not like this. It seems coronavirus is not lurking around the city now. It feels like having a normal place to live in. Are you feeling a new normal life in your place now?

Coronavirus is still all over the US but people pretend it isn't here anymore. I don't go into crowds and still wear my mask when I go out of my house. I hope you didn't catch anything.

I did not go closer to this area. I just took some photos and left right away. We still do use face masks in the city.

Oh yes last December several gatherings in our area had taken place. Even in 2021 when we had the lighting for Christmas throngs of people are already seen only with their facemasks on.

It also happened in my city, but I did not witness it. Some tourists who visit my city do not use face masks. The locals still use them here.

@Shavkat I was in Baguio last September and yeah people are walking as if it's back to normal except.that facemasks are worn. I went to the night market and bought some bags. I was looking for something that I can call indigenous to Baguio but didn't find the place.

It was like normal life before the pandemic hit but I still wore a mask.

The locals and that includes me still use the face masks outside the house. I sometimes see some locals who do not use them anymore. As for me, I am not confident to do the same thing.

Pretty normal, but I still wear a mask in indoor crowds. My wife's immune system is still week from cancer treatment.

I think we still need to use face masks. I am not confident without it especially if being out from the house.

It seems pretty normal here but only I think because they have stopped telling us the number of cases of covid and the deaths from it. You can look them up and there are still plenty of cases but in the community everything seems normal.

That's a lot of people crowded up together. We still have covid, My son recently had it and my brother and sister in law are just getting over it. I always wear a mask when I'm in stores and around people.

I was surprised that they were jump-packed in one place. I cannot imagine myself being with them here. They were wearing face masks, but being in the crowd is not for me to be in. It is better to continue wearing them because coronavirus is still existing

@Shavkat Yes, It’s best to be careful. We don’t know who’s carrying the germs.

After the pandemic, it seems that there are more crowded than before. People like having hysteria in doing outdoor activity.

Even with the absence of the pandemic, I can't stand with a large crowd, especially not now that I'm not that young anymore.

Restrictions related to Covid have been lifted recently except wearing mask in public place which is still mandatory. It appears that people are back to normal life. Actually, we still have thousands of cases every day.
