The annoying behavior that bothers me most isn’t unique to Costco:
People not masking as if there isn’t a pandemic going on.
I only expect people to mask if they're feeling unwell.
You are extremely naive about how COVID manifests and is transmitted.
Yeah, I still mask-up indoors in public places...
I’m all for people masking when necessary ….but it’s kind of over. Yeah new strain and all that…but…yeah. It’s over.
It really, really isn’t. There’s a whole new strain making hospitalizations tick up. Every reinfection increases the chance of Long COVID. Vaccination does not protect from reinfection.
Peak Lemmy response.

Ok, but there is still a pandemic. It's not a global emergency anymore, but COVID is not endemic yet. Even once it is, if you are feeling unwell you should stay home and if going out is absolutely required you should wear a mask. That's just the responsible thing to do and a change in COVID status won't change that.
I’m not going to judge anyone who still masks up. Everyone has their reasons but even in my area, where we were masking up long after the rest of country stopped, it’s rare to see someone masking except on public transport.
Ok? Does that change anything I said?
