i am really not ready to embrace an indefinite world of pandemic restrictions. At some point it's gotta end, this can't just be what life is now. I'm vaxxed, boosted, and have had multiple direct exposures to covid, and I am now personally behaving like the before times.

tbf I *like* mask wearing in higher risk scenarios and would have liked this to be culturally normal *before* the pandemic, so I'm happy to do this.
I also am careful around immunocompromised people, but I was already careful about this before covid.

This is not a decision up to what you are ready, but to what are the circunstances. We all would love it to end, but if thousands are dying daily due to covid, frankly I see no space to care about what "you are ready to embrace".

It has become absurd. And the virus is evolving to be more and more like the flu or a cold. Most deaths are due to complications because they had prior conditions. With the virus not going away they may as well accept it and move on. We did with the flu.

I wish there was more focus on clean air/ventilation. Lockdowns are out, people are not going to mask indoors indefinitely… There are obvious engineering solutions here, we need cleaner air in enclosed spaces.

I’ll feel better about hand-wringing over “the pandemic isn’t over” when it’s accompanied by “because we have intentionally created poverty and poor people are the ones dying.” At least my city has a hospital for people to go to.
