After the Delta variant hit us with a surprise last year and we published our Special Edition in September about vaccines, Delta, and masks, we took a pause in publication to wait until there was a clearer indication of when the pandemic might end so we could write about more immediate trends. Here we are in 2022 and now Omicron has reared its ugly head to continue the pandemic. So, we decided to publish this eNewsletter to discuss several longer-term trends that will be impacting location-based leisure in the post-pandemic world (hopefully we will get there soon) as well as information on the best masks to protect you from Omicron.
