From my anecdotal experience, people's habits changed very little after the mandate went away. Anti maskers were doing their thing, most people still wear masks in public spaces most of the time. That's relaxing quite a bit right now, though.

I haven't looked into it but some things I've seen thrown around are that the terrible winter storm we had acted as a de facto lockdown, helping to slow the spread, and that the nice spring weather is keeping people outdoors where transmission is low, compared to the summer spike that came during a time when people are typically indoors to beat the heat.

Fwiw, just based on my personal experiences and perception from my friends and family, mask usage and social distancing seem about the same as they have been for a while.

That's kind of what I was thinking that people just kept wearing masks. I think maybe it was some combination of that + 2 week delay in showing deaths and by that point a lot more people will have been vaccinated. Annoying part is that there's little data (that I can find at least) which supports those ideas and instead anti-mask and vax people just keep talking about my FB.
