It's 2024. Covid is no longer that much worse than the flu. Unless you have some condition, you don't need to mask anymore. Covid is still a thing, yes, and masks still help, but it's not going away, we're better prepared for it, and it's evolving to be more infectious and less lethal.

It's really hard to find data by year, but the second graph on this page is close enough: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm

So yeah, wear a mask if you want, but don't shame others for refusing to do so.

Can't we just all be happy that those mandates are over?

Are you seriously feeling nostalgic about THAT?

I understand how it works perfectly well. I simply don't give a shit anymore. Society forces is standards on me and I my quality of life is decided by how much richer people like me. I cannot stand living like this. If I get COVID again and die, good. If it spreads to the asshats who determine my mode of life, even better.

TIL some still use face masks

Edit: people have trouble understanding that the world is a big place. I haven't seen a person wear a mask, where I live, for over a year now
