I never stopped wearing a KN95 or better whenever indoors and also haven't gotten an airborne illness in over three years, which has been great. I think we will start to see long-term effects of people getting infected with COVID over and over (multiple times a year!) in the coming years.
Yeah, it's really disappointing how it has all played out. It's disappointing to encounter the persistent denial that COVID is a thing, or matters, day after day after day, for months and now years. If you're immune-compromised or just otherwise don't feel like rolling the dice with potentially being permanently crippled because of a ""cold"", you're just a total outcast from modern society and your sense of self-preservation is invalidated constantly.
