If it comes down to then being required again I’ll look out for those and give them a try.
I’m in the US, I think we have had maybe the best access to these vaccines. I just checked one pharmacy in my area, 17 locations within 30 miles all with appointments today, I can even choose between Moderna and Pfizer. I haven’t gotten a booster in a while, but I want to say I’ve gotten the first two shots and like 2-3 boosters. The last booster was an updated one I think for Delta.
boosters don’t have much impact on you getting other people sick. you can get a spray to stop glasses fogging up, you can get cooling towels or a personal fan to deal with overheating. wear a fucking mask please
“nobody cares”, except people with medical conditions who can’t risk getting COVID so can’t go out in public since people stopped wearing masks, or those of us who don’t want to be part of a large-scale experiment about the debilitating effects of long COVID. maybe try different anti-fog products, there are some that definitely work. and wear a fucking mask
If you have medical conditions where you can’t risk getting covid, then you shouldn’t be going outside with other people in the first place, mask or not.
I don’t know how to make this more clear, literally basically everyone doesn’t wear a mask anymore here, there is no point to me being the one person wearing one.
wow what a disgusting take - people with medical conditions can’t go out in public for the rest of their lives because wearing a facemask is mildly inconvenient for you?
you wearing a mask could prevent you from infecting dozens if not hundreds of people with COVID over the rest of your life, several of whom could die or get longterm disabilities from it. very unclear how what other people are doing affects that
If getting sick is that high of a risk, do you really think relying on everyone in public to do something is worth the risk? If it only takes one person not doing something to put yourself at risk, you will be at risk, because you just can’t trust everyone in public to do it.
Yeah, I’m not writing a mask for the rest of my life, sorry. Nobody else is wearing one, everyone is agreeing to be out in public without a mask, that’s just how life is now.
If everyone around me is not wearing masks, the chances that me specifically will be the cause of someone getting so sick they have disabilities is extremely low. If everyone not wearing a mask would infect dozens or hundreds as you claim, we are already screwed.
we are very screwed, in large part because of people like you, enthusiastically volunteering to help with propaganda in support of corporate real estate and retail tycoons.
you could be part of the solution by wearing a mask.
perhaps research the effects of repeated COVID infections on otherwise-fine people, reconsider how transmission and probability works (“oh, there’s no point using condoms, anyone I have any kind of sex with is likely to get HIV from someone else”), and try and imagine how you’d feel if you or someone you care about had an immune system disorder and couldn’t safely go outside in your area because of healthier people who prioritise their comfort in not wearing a small piece of cloth on their faces

Where in the hell did you get that from? What does anything I said have to do with real estate?

Me being the only person wearing a mask isn’t going to help solve anything.
Did you seriously just compare a bad flu virus to HIV? You are just being ridiculous now.
Do you think it’s safe outside for an immune compromised person if im the only one wearing a mask? No, obviously it’s not. Me staying a mask is going to have no effect on their safety in public. If I went over to this person’s house, sure, I would wear a mask if they wanted me to, but in public where nobody is wearing one it’s kinda pointless.
I guess for the West, the US has more access. Other countries, such as the UK, are paring back boosters except for the really vulnerable. It is still weird that the current vaccine is for a strain in 2021, though. Our societies should be doing better.

I’ve tried those anti fog things on glasses, never got one that worked for me and didn’t smear my lenses like crazy.
Sorry, nobody is wearing a mask anymore In my city, I’m not about to try and start that trend back up. Nobody cares anymore, so I won’t either.
