Covid precautions and adherence to same has been a giant Rorschach test. Given a situation in which old norms are no longer assumed, with different information and beliefs, what does each person think is "reasonable"? Personally, IMHO, if someone isn't wearing a mask in crowded public places and getting their vaccinations, it's mind bogglingly hypocritical to be claim to be afraid of returning to the office. Either they're worried enough about the virus to protect themselves and the people around them, or they're not. And if they're not, then how can they be too worried to be in the office? * Leaving aside the issue of the minority who medically can't vaccinate.

> Leaving aside the issue of the minority who medically can't vaccinate. Perhaps nitpicking, but it isn't just a matter of whether you can vaccinate. For example, cancer patients can often still receive the vaccine (depending on their health and current phase of treatment), but that doesn't mean that they aren't still at a dramatically higher risk from exposure to Covid than others, despite being vaccinated.
