    I’ve never stopped wearing a mask in public transport/while grocery shopping etc. and I don’t think I will =/

      I still do, though nearly zero of that is due to virus stuff. I’d say for me it’s 95% I’m too lazy to retrain myself to keeping a neutral expression, 4% because hiding my ugly mug seems polite, and 1% sickness reduction ( combination of allergies, flu, covid. Etc)

      Me neither. I’m also in a part of the United States where people seem to give a damn at least a little more. I’m never the only person wearing a mask in the stores I shop at. And shockingly (not really), we have a lot less COVID-19 than the national average.

      So, not planning to stop any time soon.

        Are you sure they weren’t just being recorded anymore? How many people continued to test themselves and informed the responsible people? I know at least in Germany we don’t have any accurate numbers anymore.

          I saw a major drop in cases coming into my hospital as well. People just weren’t coming in with COVID symptoms. Not nearly the amount of airborne precautions on rooms. They were shutting down entire floors during delta.

              Right, I based it on the opinions of our infectious disease doctors who made the recommendation to stop masking except on certain patients. That decision was based on infectious cases in our community. You can use your feelings, I’m following that data interpreted by medical doctors.

                Bit defensive there eh? It was also medically licensed doctors that recommended ivermectin as a cure for covid. Hope you didn’t follow that advise:)

      Same. Never got it and I love not having long Covid. It takes me zero effort whatsoever.
