I'm vaccinated, so I'm not that worried for myself. But the part of town where I live has a large population of elderly people and people with disabilities and illnesses that put them at a higher risk of getting seriously sick or even dying of Covid, so in my situation wearing a mask, keeping my distance, etc. is - IMHO - an act of solidarity as much as anything else.
In Germany, people had to postpone surgery, including for things like cancer, because too many anesthesiologists are busy taking care of Covid patients in ICUs.
Maybe that just means "flattening the curve" has already failed beyond recovery. But if somebody you know has operable cancer and has to postpone surgery until it might no longer be operable, it's not easy to remain nonchalant about it.
Plus, I need to ride the bus, shop for groceries, and so forth, so I'll continue wearing a mask for the foreseeable future.
