The infection rates of COVID are still variable and it hasn’t really gone away. The dangers still exist, for the most part. However, I personally think it is going the way of the flu and its almost there.

The biggest danger of COVID was that it was new, there were no vaccines and nobody had an immunity to it. It was a quick killer and nobody knew why, yet

TBH, it’s good practice to keep wearing a mask if you want to limit yourself from getting sick. However, I do believe that the risk of death or needing a ventilator has gone down significantly. Post-infection treatments exist and the virus isn’t much of a mystery anymore.

I have always tried to socially distance even before it was a thing. (Malls were always an unpleasant experience for me. I can’t stand smelling other people as they walk past me…)

My point, is that the risk of being put on a ventilator is much lower even without masks or social distancing. You do you, by all means! It just seems that being as fearful of it is not necessary any more. (It’s still a nasty little virus, don’t get me wrong.)
