I was so relieved when you mentioned on the pod that you still mask. I'm so sick of people I otherwise respect not giving a single shit about the pandemic anymore, referring to it in the past tense, and taking no real precautions like it's 2019 again.
Heard yesterday "It might be a little bit of Long COVID..."
Me : "Or a new one"
No answer... Ppl don't really know it could very well be. They really think it's over. I'm exhausted
You can always start wearing a mask again. It’s ok and considering the fascist surveillance state we live in now it also acts as a barrier against are repression and shows solidarity with those who have never stopped wearing one.
Fully agree ! I wear mine to protect myself and my family, but the 2nd reason is "So that ppl who don't have a choice are not alone" (I don't feel I have a choice either, but I just don't want to be ill, my life's not at stake)

But yes, we've moved past pandemic to endemic now.
