Sadly and regrettably, those who insist in intentionally ignoring basic health and sanitary precautions, such as wearing masks and washing hands and social distancing, are the reason why not only the pandemic still rages on but also the death toll is so high in some countries. You are endangering everyone around you with your irresponsible behavior, and just because you are ok with your personal notion of what are the odds of being negatively impacted by a disease that does not mean those who are forced to interact with you are. I firmly believe that this pandemic would already be a thing of the past if everyone acted responsibly and did the bare minimum to not contribute to its spread. But no.

Sadly, people who continue to promote hysteria are the reason why this "crisis" will never end.

  Do you honestly classify the death toll of millions, where a good portion of these deaths were unequivocally preventable with trivial health and safety precautions, as "hysteria"? Or is this one of those things that you feel everyone is hysteric just because so far the problem didn't affected you personally?

I complied for a year. I wore a mask, I social distanced, I only went outside when necessary, I still wash my hands. You can scapegoat me all you like if it makes you feel like your compliance accomplished something, you can pretend that the predictable failure of these ridiculous measures is my fault, but most of us that live out here in the world are tired of being micromanaged and brow beaten and guilt tripped and told to comply ad infinitum with measures that so far have failed to produce any tangible benefit at all. We have to live in the world as it is and that's exactly what I plan on doing, and we are going to ignore all of you irrational people scolding us.

That's not how it works. The SARS-CoV-2 virus (including multiple variants) is now endemic in the worldwide human population, plus some animals. It will never go away. The pandemic will be permanent no matter what we do. Let's vaccinate as many as we can to reduce the death toll. But you cannot seriously expect people to continue wearing masks and social distancing indefinitely.
