    I never stopped. The pandemic never ended. People just got tired of acknowledging it and left the vulnerable to fend for themselves.

      Covid never ended; my boyfriend just tested positive last week. And it won’t end since it’s a mutating virus. But it’s nowhere near as deadly as initial variants, and the curve flattened a long time ago. I wouldn’t still call it a pandemic.

      I stopped masking in public very briefly when they were saying it was okay after getting double vaxxed. Waited the proper amount of time for immunity to kick in and then some, and I immediately got COVID 🥲

      Fool me once, etc. I’m never doing that shit again, and it’s a little disturbing to me how little people care about others’ health or their own. You’d think naked self interest would get people masking if empathy doesn’t, but apparently not.

      Same. And to the best of my knowledge I’m still a COVID virgin (unless I was asymptomatic).

        I worked retail for a good portion of it and somehow never got it. I did get swung at by a customer who thought I was hiding toilet paper in the back though.
