Everytime I go grocery shopping I will also be wearing a mask. I am kind of baffled by people who seem to think that corona has poofed out of existence.
It still exists but the main problem is solved. Hospitals arent full, the virus mutated to much less deadly variants and the majority of people is immunized. Right now, Corona is just another flu. Sure its not nice but the average joe will get it now and then.
Good points, aside from equating COVID to the flu. Even with hospitals at normal census, the less deadly variants, and the vaccines, COVID is still less understood than the flu. Long-COVID, for example, is a serious problem, where as influenza rarely (if ever) has such lasting issues.
