In the fifth summer of Covid, cases are surging, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported high or very high levels of the virus in wastewater in almost every state. The rate of hospitalizations with Covid is nearly twice what it was at this time last summer, and deaths, despite being down almost 75 percent from what they were at the worst of the pandemic, are still double what they were this spring.
But for many like Mr. Moyer, Covid has become so normalized that they no longer see it as a reason to disrupt social, work or travel routines. Test kit sales have plummeted, isolation after an exposure is increasingly rare, and masks are sparse, even in crowded airports, train stations and subways.
