We stopped masking up about 1 1/2 years ago. We still get the vaccines every flu season but it just seemed like the worst of it was over. I still keep 3 masks with me just in case the family and I are in a situation where we might need them but it’s been a while.
Respectfully, the worst of it is not over. Hospitals still get overwhelmed, mortality rates are still high, your community is still getting long COVID. There are fewer protections than ever and a new variant is causing a summer surge. It's never too late to start caring and masking again 💛
