Huh? We are still in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. We will be until the infection becomes controlled and the WHO proclaims it so. Just because some governments and some people close their eyes to the facts is no reason for any shopper to do so as well.

That said, SEC has never offered any shops which have been of interest to me.

I am curious how you define "post-Covid".

Currently, there are 316 COVID deaths per day in the United States or 115,340 per year. The average number of deaths from the flu in the US was 12,000 – 52,000 deaths annually between 2010 and 2020. So COVID deaths are still at twice the high end of annual flu deaths and almost 10 times the number at the low end of annual flu deaths. Once the annual number of COVID deaths gets inside the flu death range, I might consider that the US is post-COVID. I would like to see up and down years for COVID, just like annual deaths vary from year to year for flu deaths.

I haven't seen any announcements from the CDC or the WHO saying that we are post-COVID yet.

If you can't see the end of the SARS COVID II pandemic now, then you're going to wear a mask the rest of your life. It's also completely fine to admit you were bamboozled and move on. There's really no sense in carrying on. You aren't going to have different outcomes from someone who discovered they were bamboozled earlier than you. It's completely acceptable from time to time to admit when we are wrong, and move on. We learn from our mistakes. It's ok. It really is. The CDC isn't even recommending masks in hospitals. You probably don't need one for your car ride alone to the grocery store pickup parking spot.

The end of the pandemic and the end of Covid are not the same in my lay opinion. I’m continually determining a comfort level for me when I’m out and about. I don’t even live in a high incident case area. My husband and I are seniors. He’s immunocompromised.

We’ve each recently had our annual physicals. He needs a specialist and regularly goes to a renowned national provider. I go to a small regional group. Both facilities still require masks and distancing. My doctor’s office hasn’t even opened their waiting room to patients yet. I park, call them, they unlock their door, and let me in. After I’m taken to the examining room, they let another patient in. Different protocols are observed by our providers. I appreciate and trust both.

I don’t live in a bubble. I do wear a mask by choice and without complaint. Maybe one of these days . . . or not. Time will tell.

The Syracuse, NY VA hospital has over 50 employees out with Covid right now. This is someplace where you have had to wear a mask right along. They also screen you before you can enter. So apparently Covid is still around.

I've had all the vaccines and comply with mask policies wherever I go, but choose not to wear a mask in public.

I also think many people misunderstand that Covid it's just "in the air everywhere". I saw a guy golfing by himself and he was wearing a mask. There was nobody else in sight.

Why is this even being discussed? Neither side is going to change the mind of the other side.

What's the next story in this thread? Hunter Biden laptop story still being ignored? Did Russia sabotage their own Nordstream pipeline or was it someone from the west? None of this really has any place in the folder "Mystery Shopping Company Discussion"

That escalated quickly!

Anyway, OP, do you mean Service Evaluation Concepts? They have not had anything near me for years. Hopefully someone else can give you some current information.

This Forum welcomes viewpoints on a variety of topics, discussed in an adult manner. However, before this thread is closed for getting off-topic, please re-focus your discussions on SEC to deal with that Company. If you'd like to discuss something off-topic, please start a new thread. If the topic does not pertain to mystery shopping, please start a new topic over in General Chat. Thank you, the Moderation Team.

SEC is a good company run by nice NY folks. Used to shop their former client who is a famous NY based national hot dog chain.

Could be he has an allergy problem. I sometimes wear a mask when I go walkin when the allergy count is real high. Ya never know.

FWIW, I just checked and Service Evaluation Concepts has no assignments available in Texas. I have not seen anything since 2020 either.
