Sometimes you have to take some precautions in the face of risks. Adults can cope with minor inconveniences. I don't know about you, but I stopped being a toddler a few decades ago.
Minor inconvenience?? Its been 2 years

It's so stupid, people are getting covid left and right now at my job only no one has any symptoms. They only know they have it due to having to test at least 3 x a week. We need to stop this nonsense and just get back to living like we did pre covid.

Yup, it’s barely anything now. We had it this past week. Two years ago, I’d have been saying I had a cold.

Masks work best when everyone is wearing it as it limits the spread better that way. That’s what we’re trying to do… slow the spread and flatten the curve. Can’t do that when some people are roaming around maskless breathing on other people.

Only it wouldn’t have been two years if people just did what they were supposed to and wear the mask instead of complaining about it.

But of course, people will continue to tell me that it wouldn’t have made difference whether people wore masks or not…

So how long to flatten the curve? 2034?

Not long, if people did what they were supposed to. We have literally been through two years of stubbornness.

Looks like more and more people will be maskless moving forward with the TSA saying they won't enforce the mask mandate any more.

I'm still going to wear a mask on planes and trains.

Everywhere else, if I have one on me and the place is asking.

And that bolded part is what you call living prudently and exactly how I expect people to behave. At this point, I don't expect people wear masks everywhere they go. But if it's a cramped, indoor setting, please put one on! So many people not wearing them in church, in the subway and even in small, crowded stores; it's crazy! If you're outdoors where there's not a lot of people or even in a big indoor place like a mall or department store that's not overly crowded and cramped, then fine, I might be ok with people maskless.

Philadelphia's mask mandate for indoors started tonight and the news was taking note of all the people at the 76ers game who were not wearing their mask. How can someone eat and drink and cheer at a basketball game with a mask on? lol
