@OldAndCranky @TJ @BlackAzizAnansi It's been almost half a year since anyone I know has had COVID and probably four months since I wore a mask. The pandemic pretty much is over in my neck of the woods. I have no problem wearing a mask when asked or the numbers tell me otherwise. It's just nobody has asked lately including my local doctors and hospitals.
@bryanruby @OldAndCranky @TJ @BlackAzizAnansi It appears "over" because no one is testing. The virus is still circulating. People are catching covid 1-3 times a year and calling it "a bad cold" without testing.
My spouse has had long covid since last fall. It's a goddamn nightmare. Fully vaxxed & boosted, and yet still partially disabled by this horrible disease.
Y'all have a 10-20% chance of developing long covid with each infection. Don't be fools.
