    Never stopped masking, thanks. I would say I’m glad to be vindicated, but no, this is terrible actually.

      Same here. I just got it for the first time few weeks ago due to one unmasked exposure in a car which was supposed to be safe. It was bad, really bad. Didn’t get into the hospital but it was easily the worst sickness in recent memory. Still have some runny nose weeks later.

      Masking is completely gone where i live. I got the flu last month sland unfortunately had to go to the pharmacy and do some groceries, so i put on a mask. Holy shit the looks i got and people being so nice to tell me that i don’t need a mask was insane.

          Now i have to do a little rant. What is the deal with old people coughing and sneezing around like assholes? I know it’s not just them, but they go hard. I went Christmas shopping with my girlfriend and we saw an old guy dashing inside a store just to cough his lungs out. An old lady was looking at some stuff and she turned around and coughed in some guys face. The guy in front of me in the line bend over and coughed like a motherfucker on the conveyor belt, so much so that the lady had to stop it to clean it. And the guy didn’t think it’s fucking disgusting, he was seemingly more annoyed that the belt wasn’t moving. I only started to realise that during covid when old people literally pulled down their mask to cough around. These people were all around my parents age or 10 years older, and i learned to not do that. Guess what, my dad does the same thing. Once i picked him up, he got into the car and before even saying anything, he would just sneeze in my car 3 times without covering anything.
