“return to”… heh! I still wear a KN95 mask in any indoor place with other people in it (especially since people don’t feel any need to wear masks at all). I mean, I know one person who died from COVID, another who is indefinitely wheelchair-bound, and others who are just generally suffering life-altering effects (like years-long weakness and shaking hands and endless brain fog, probably-permanent deafness in one ear)… It’s funny, I haven’t been sick from any transmissible illness in over three years, despite how eager people seem to be to spread their ailments as much as possible.
- TranquilMarmot 3y agoI never stopped wearing a KN95 or better whenever indoors and also haven't gotten an airborne illness in over three years, which has been great. I think we will start to see long-term effects of people getting infected with COVID over and over (multiple times a year!) in the coming years.
- amatecha 3y agoYeah, it's really disappointing how it has all played out. It's disappointing to encounter the persistent denial that COVID is a thing, or matters, day after day after day, for months and now years. If you're immune-compromised or just otherwise don't feel like rolling the dice with potentially being permanently crippled because of a ""cold"", you're just a total outcast from modern society and your sense of self-preservation is invalidated constantly.
