As I sit in my office building for 8 hours with a mask on, listening to people around me act like it’s over. I am counting down the seconds till I can be back in my house, safe and sound.

I still mask everywhere, and am usually the only one. Someone is sick every other week with something or other, and it's so demoralizing. It scares me because people I care for have had it multiple times and each one has developed some additional medical issue in the last 3 years. Yet there's no precautions taken, no thought to being sick a week out of every month, no concern for the persistent coughs and memory issues. I can't even address the fact that it puts vulnerable people at risk still, that masking shouldn't be just a personal choice but one made in solidarity with every comrade.

Yeah, it’s very demoralizing. My wife and I are also the only maskers and are dealing with the long term effects of getting it once, I cannot imagine the people who keep on willfully getting it.

100% with you on masking in solidarity and definitely appreciate the couple of people I know who will when I’m around.
