The mask wars are still on going in Michigan, in Muskegon where I live and in my senior citizens apartment building, Someone on NPR said that if 95% of Americans wore masks, we could get the virus under control But mask wearing has about 50 % compliance rate in my apartment building ..even the building manager seldom wears one. He wore it below his nose when I had to met with him in a small office for apartment recertification in late October, Residents constantly put a mask on the statute of Charles Hackley, a lumber baron , who built our city in the 1890s. City officials remove it and its back in within a day or two, ..a constant reminder of the mask wars, I have only confronted two people in building about it. One said she was on the phone and the other said it was in his pocket. Don’t know if it is stupidity or defiance of the governors mandate to wear a mask.

I feel as though it's very hard to foresee or plan for things as we are all still in that mindset of 'lets just wait for it to be over,' but then what if it never blows over? It's difficult to stay motivated and it's very frustrating not being able to just do things. However, i feel as well that my motivation has been focused now on more close to home things like I am keeping up with exercise at home and doing extra learning for work. I have picked up a few more hobbies as well. It's just mad that it has been this long. I miss being able to do things to see people- I have not seen one of my closest friends in a year.
