Everytime I go grocery shopping I will also be wearing a mask. I am kind of baffled by people who seem to think that corona has poofed out of existence.
Out of sight out of mind. Hahaha
Masks are good for everybody though. Even the percentage of getting infected by common airborne illnesses can be reduced by a simple mask.
And also if you are ill, it protects others from you.
It still exists but the main problem is solved. Hospitals arent full, the virus mutated to much less deadly variants and the majority of people is immunized. Right now, Corona is just another flu. Sure its not nice but the average joe will get it now and then.
Good points, aside from equating COVID to the flu. Even with hospitals at normal census, the less deadly variants, and the vaccines, COVID is still less understood than the flu. Long-COVID, for example, is a serious problem, where as influenza rarely (if ever) has such lasting issues.
Number one reason for me is that I don't want to get Long COVID.
To add to this outstanding display of rationalism. The vaccines are waaay more effective at preventing COVID than masks will ever be. Dump the mask (if you are a healthy adult) and get boosted!
Random aside: The Duke Nukem 1&2 platformers were my favorite of the franchise.
Same. Grocery, public transit, doctors office, cabs. I'll also add public restrooms, although if Coronavirus disappeared tomorrow, I'd still probably mask up in public bathrooms. I don't need to go back to inhaling that experience directly.
