(1,495 posts)People are running around without masks while Covid rips through the community. Most people don't check the case rates anymore and think Covid is over.
As an immune compromised person, I am really tired of being terrorized by Covid. My husband is an essential worker who is not careful and doesn't wear a mask unless there is a mandate.
This is a highly contagious strain and people need to take all precautions to prevent getting it. Our hospitalizations have been going back up as well. In my area, they are rationing the Paxlovid now.
Zeke Emmanuel wrote a good piece for the Washington Post about why he is still wearing a mask and taking precautions to avoid long Covid and long term complications. And he's kind of a death ghoul. He's the guy who thinks people should die at 75 years old, so I take it seriously when he wants to be cautious.
