We are one of the most vaccinated states (I think THE most vaccinated, actually). And we are very mask compliant.

One hypothesis is that we did so well early on - we are more susceptible to the virus now (we have very little immunity from infection). Another guess is that we were so early in our vaccinations (there was a bit of a lag after the vaccination's protective features....'wore off').

And......it's winter. And winter is inside.......

I don't know. I do everything I can to avoid infection. But if it happened now - it might be (MIGHT BE) for the best. I'm boosted. I'm not that old. I'm healthy. My weight is okay (so no risk factors from that). And I'm a woman. Again, not tempting fate - just thinking........
