As someone left of center I have a hard time being online talking to other people left of center because not wearing a mask outside is viewed as insincere to them. I tell them I've had the first vaccine (second now) and had covid last march, the science tells me I'm very unlikely to spread the virus to another person at this point if I'm outdoors not in a crowd. My only question is to ask when does it become sincere again? To which they have no answer. As for Duchin's statement I kind of feel it in the same way as these people. They're making a moral judgment to which I can't really respond. I can only live my life and accept the normal amounts of risk that anyone does in their normal day to day lives. We may have disagreements about what that level of risk is for any of us and what risk the state should allow by a matter of course, but if you keep moving to goal post on me I'm just going to have to make my own judgment at some point.

In the first MI/AZ graph, the label "MI (starting 2/1/20)" should have the date "2/1/21", right?
