America is on the move

The coronavirus has been spreading in the US since March of last year. However, the peak of 210,000 infections and 1,700 deaths in a single day in January of this year is approaching a tenth of that number of infections by the end of May. This is because the US is well vaccinated. The number of deaths is still 5 - 600 daily, but this has dropped to around 10 in each state if you consider all 50 states. In states like Texas and Florida, even wearing masks is no longer necessary.

My company will continue to work remotely for the rest of the month, but June 30th will be the last day of remote work. Restaurants are also allowed to operate with at least 50% of their seats occupied, although it varies from state to state. As for the vaccine situation, in Washington state, where I live, you can get a vaccine without an appointment. Of course, you can also get the vaccine with an appointment.

When I go to work in the morning, the roads are not as car-free as they were last year, and there is a rush during the commute. As you can see, the situation in the U.S. is returning to what it was before coronavirus.

However, on the economic front, things still don't seem to be back to normal. Stock prices (especially those in the high-tech industry) are stagnant, but real estate prices continue to rise. I think the big issue now is whether companies can keep up with a society that is trying to get back on track. We are no longer in the era of the old days when we had to work hard without any pretense. In particular, the government is focusing on the environment and equality, not the economy, so companies are restricted in their movements.
