Upper midwest US here.
Practically no restrictions anymore. My wife and I went on a rave with thousands of people clumped together. There were no vaccine card check or any mask recommendations. A very small percent of people wore masks, but that's about it. This is in the urban areas. Rural areas never really followed any restrictions or lockdowns at all.
I personally know 2 antivaxxers who have not taken the vaccine yet. One of them has a husband who is NOT an antivaxxer, but she threatens him with divorce if he ever got vaxxed. Many people in their group are vaccine-hesitant but eventually got it. Me and my wife took the vaccine as soon as we can and followed all reasonable guidelines. We never got covid before or after getting the vaccine, even with our fairly frequent traveling. In contrast, the group with the antivaxxers ALL got covid at some point, family and friends.
We went on a over 2 week vacation to Mexico in 3 areas, the Yucatan, Oaxaca, and Mexico City.
The people there are more serious about the restrictions. You wear masks even in huge outdoor locations such as ruins. They spray your hands and body with disinfectants whenever you enter any building. The beach areas were more lax, while the urban areas were more strict. That said, people were still eating in restaurants and drinking in bars everywhere.
In the Philippines, where a lot of my friends and family still live, a lot of people are dying. My aunt died of covid, and my wife's family suffered a few deaths as well. Almost everyone I know is related to someone who died of it. Restrictions are still strict there, but it can only do so much in densely populated areas with bad healthcare.
