demographics. I see it most in my own, the "older" generation. We stay home more now than we did before. We don't do large concerts, if do any at all anymore. I chalk this up to not only to covid, but also to all the gun violence. It's just too dangerous to be out in crowds where any idiot may be packing guns.

Also, those of us in my generation have tended to keep ourselves in "bubbles." We all keep up with our vaccinations, we all do the masking and keep distance when out and about around strangers. IOW, we do as much good practices as possible to keep everyone in our families and bubble safe.

I say there must be a demographic difference, because I DO see crowded movie theaters and concert venues. So not everyone is living this way. While we do have some younger members in our bubble, they live the same lifestyle as we elders. So maybe it's a matter of poverty more than age? (LOL) It would be interesting to know if others see this same influence in their demographic range.

Interesting topic... I hope others jump in! Thanks for bringing it up, Laura!
