And sick people should wear them too when they go into stores. But where is this actually a topic anyway? I’ve not heard much of anything regarding masks since the pandemic.
What do you mean, “since”? COVID is still running freaking riot. We just stopped acknowledging it.
The pandemic is still over. Covid became endemic and there’s both vaccinations and medications for it now, while the latest strains are also much less problematic than the first ones. People since then have stopped wearing masks. I may see like one person a year with a mask.
Endemic is not an improvement on the situation. It’s just an acknowledgement that we were inadequate to deal with it when it was reasonably possible, and are giving up now. I don’t leave the house without a P100, because my species appears to be insane.
