And why am I, the person who wears an N95 for 90% of my work day, at risk from everyone else in my office who never wears masks and flies overseas and parties and eats out in restaurants and ignores the pandemic.
I am so sick of the mental energy of always having to think about protecting myself from COVID. Always assessing risks, always having to be the one person in the room wearing a mask, or having to explain why I am doing or not doing things.
While work, a hospital, drops mask requirements so everyone's just walking around, pretending there's no COVID, and friends who used to care about it catching COVID no longer care. Why is it so abnormal to want to avoid catching a virus that WE KNOW causes organ damage?

The question you need to ask yourself is by what criteria are you still calling this a pandemic, that you wouldn’t be 5, 10 years from now?
Is it is it realistic to hold yourself, let alone others, to standards of 2020 mitigation forever?
@NurseIngrid2
Not everyone has the same risk assessments of COVID Most people have just accepted COVID risk as same as influenza and are not going to live forever in a state of fear
