I wonder if people who think like you see the severity of this type of thinking.
Are you aware that vulnerable people have to become hermits or risk their life when going in public.
Do you understand the severity of cutting off this part of the population from public life? Do you understand the severity of potentially infecting a chronically ill person? They can die… and you’re okay?
How?
I know I’m personally affected by this problem. Does it have to be so personal to care about minimum protection?

The ban has been lifted here except for hospitals in which I did wear a mask.
The severity since omicron and vaccinations has gone down to flu-like levels.
Every grandparent and sibling in my family has gotten it in the last few months, even though I never have.
They told me it was a few days of flu.

This includes the one step-grandfather who has lung and heart issues, so he was quite vulnerable.
And I was told he had a few days of flu.
I lived almost like a complete hermit for two years. I think that’s enough now.
This was what my home looked like since late January to December 2020.
When I was I stopped caring, I mean I’ve dropped the seriousness of it down from this level.

I don’t live in the US where there’s no universal health care.
We (still) have a good health care system here.
How?
Because the number of death has gone done in my nation by 90%, even though the curfew is gone and the masks are off.
Our hospitals are able to take care of most of the patients.
It’s now slightly more dangerous than the flu.
I know I’m personally affected by this problem. Does it have to be so personal to care about minimum protection?
No, I just calculate the risk and the risk simply has gone done to flu levels for my nation.
Other things still occur that also have risk, including health care issues, and those are getting priority.
What people aren’t taking seriously right now are the consequences of the Nord Stream pipe line being blown up and the gas/oil sanctions against Russia.
It’s going to lead into a cascading effect in the EU similar to the Arab Spring, with complete overturns of governments, coups and even civil war, with the difference being that unlike the Arab nations, the EU could have stopped the US, but jumped ahead in front US in order outdo it’s own collapse.
And a lot more people are going to die from this this year in Ukraine (due to the provoked war), and next year in the EU than COVID.
I’m not saying I’ve stopped caring as such. For myself, I live in Hong Kong where it’s still a legal requirement for us to wear a mask almost everywhere at almost all times. We’re reopening but also rightfully being cautious about it as our booster stats are not amazing, yet the situation here is still different to that of mainland China as we already went through the kind of nightmare outbreak scenario with Omicron that the mainland has been holding off.
I still remember seeing mainlanders trying to flee to Hong Kong from COVID on the news. They must be feeling stupid ever since it became clear that the mainland is doing a better job at protecting its citizens.
When no one else around you is wearing a mask, then it’s functionally pointless to wear one. I wear one in the majority of indoor spaces I’m in, but sometimes it just feels like symbolic virtue signaling when everyone else – irrespective of ethnicity – doesn’t have one.
And at this point in time N95 and KN95 masks are widely and cheaply available. You can get 3M name brand N95 masks for as little as $2 a mask (and KN95 for significantly less) and with cycling (put in paper bags, have 5-7 paper bags, cycle through them, one a day to give rest periods of at least 5 days to each mask) you can make these masks last through multiple wears. Probably 5-6 at least if not potentially twice that making the cost per day literally cents per day.
And at that point you’re almost totally protecting yourself given the filtration rate and of course protecting others in the very unlikely chance you get it.
Excuse me for butting in, but there is quite a lot of research about ffp 2and3 masks stating the contrary. And as for those surgical masks they contain cancer causing chemicals.
If somebody is interested a could scrounge up a few links.
I will pitch in as another caucasian that stopped caring since the Omicron variant. I went from every time to never in a span of 30 days.
I understand when other nations have different health care issues and would act as in Rome.

For real, it’s about wearing a piece of cloth on your face for a limited amount of time lmao.
I did it for a twelve hour train ride with no great annoyance, doctors do it all the time, public transport workers do, people do it all the time.

Not true. Even surgical masks reduce your chances of catching a virus. Don’t spread this misinformation. You are safer covering your face.
And at this point in time N95 and KN95 masks are widely and cheaply available. You can get 3M name brand N95 masks for as little as $2 a mask (and KN95 for significantly less) and with cycling (put in paper bags, have 5-7 paper bags, cycle through them, one a day to give rest periods of at least 5 days to each mask) you can make these masks last through multiple wears.

I don’t excuse you. Go away and don’t spread misinformation that kills people.
