Do you read the New York Times? they had an interesting article this morning about how masks and social distancing didn’t really have that much effect on Omicron transmission. I’m in favor of vaccine mandates, but masks forever? No. I sympathize with you, I support vaccine mandates, and I will wear masks around my immunocompromised friends and family or only visit them outside, whatever they need to be safe, but outside of that I need to start living my life again.
