Interesting how the masks date these comics now.
It’s 2026 and I still wear a mask when I’m out. I don’t know why people act like COVID is gone and somehow long COVID isn’t a thing anymore. It’s still mutating, and endemic now, and there are a ton of health consequences to catching it that may not be immediately obvious, including organ damage.
most people already had it and assess the risk accordingly
the great danger of covid came from the fact that we had neither herd immunity or vaccines in the past. shielding the vulnerable was never a real priority but a convenient side quest
now it's comparable to the "regular" flu
the brain damage is already done too
That's true, but for good or ill, it's uncommon to see both a customer and an employee wearing masks nowadays.
