I still wear a mask today - specifically when I am going to encounter a lot of people at once (like ordering food at a cafeteria), interacting with someone who through their job has to come face to face with hundreds of people a day (like a barista), or just passing through a shared area (like walking from the cafeteria to my desk with my food). Other than that I take the mask off if I am sitting relatively by myself.

I am still waiting to feel this fear that the right wing media has hammered into people's heads as a legitimate talking point. I think there are at least two comments here already citing this fear. I don't feel afraid when I have the mask on or when my mask is off and wearing a mask does not change any of my other behavior.

What was scary was in 2020 when I went to the ER with COVID. That was actually scary.
