I only gave it up a year ago after COVID had begun, but suddenly everyone around me is snorting and hacking, and apparently very few people bother covering their mouth when they do anymore. It's just for crowded spaces but 1 in 65 people in Canada have COVID right now, and while I'm super ultra vaccinated I don't want to catch anything in general. It feels strange.

masking never started here, there was never a mandate. people just kept really far apart instead. there is currently one person in my country being treated for serious covid, down from two last week. if i'm reading the statistics correctly, we're currently at a reported infection rate of 1 in 25000. it's strange how it's so different depending on location.

    Would you mind telling me what country? No worries if not.
