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

      Same. I lost my spouse to Covid in ‘22, I’m never going to get over it, it was horrifying. I’m old too, and starting to feel my age, so that’s another added worry. So I’m never going to stop wearing a mask in public, I’ve resigned myself to it.

      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.

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

        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.
