Still wearing masks, and ppl still getting Coronas at work once every few weeks. So nothing much has changed.

For any normal person a whole lot has changed. Did you expect earth to eradicate the disease in 2 years? Or everyone just hides in their basement indefinitely?

There is no point in living in our basements forever so really, it's about finding that balance that works and is comfortable for us.
Having said that, I am still taking my precautions of wearing a mask and routine handwashing. I got my 4th booster shot the other day while on the same day, my aunt and uncle in California got COVID...for the second time. It's a bit of a no fucks given attitude in California.
I still go out and in big crowds or closed quarters, keep my mask on. We now have a "mask optional" policy at the work place but I keep my mask on when walking around but keep it off while stationary at my desk.

Even at the time I thought that sounded insane. I kept telling people buckle up boys this is here for the long haul.

Sorry if it seemed my answer was directed at you. It was at happyslip 2’s incessant comments about how he’s the only person that knows what’s going on with covid and how to deal with it for about 628 pages.

I don't really think about Covid much anymore until I'm forced to which is usually by way of some bullshit app that is doing absolutely nothing to prevent Covid.

We've mostly gone back to normal, but we avoid very crowded areas, Costco is not avoidable though.
The one big change is full time WFH. Some companies are trying to get employees back in, but I don't think it's happening. The one time I went to the office last month there was a positive case. Not going in anymore unless I really have to.

Especially if you've already had it ... I feel a higher level of invincibility for at least 1-2 months. Then apparently, you can catch it again. However, there are now reports coming out that if you catch it multiple times ... there could be more serious consequences.

I'm not concerned about it, if businesses want me to mask up no issue at all I'll do that but I'm not voluntarily masking up anywhere. I'm not worried about getting it, if I get it I get it.

I'd have to look it up to be sure, but I think that's what was said.

So I'm looking to book a trip to Korea in Sep. or Oct., and covid is still a thing there.
Need to pay for a RAT 24 hours before flight for all passengers 5+, need to pay for a PCR within 24 hours of arriving in Korea, masks in indoor spaces, etc, for anyone 2 years or older.
Reealllly hoping some of the testing is gone by then, but Korea is one of the few countries still testing and they're at like 100k cases a day.

I've used Arrivcan 2x ... sped right through customs (Nexus). You basically answer the most basic of questions that agent would have asked you anyways ... how long have you been, where did you stay, etc. So once you show up at the booth, they pull all that up ... saves a bit of time.
What's all the uproar with Arrivcan ... never thought it was that much of a hassle. Am I being tracked or something? I mean ... I'm sure they have all that info with or without Arrivcan.

It's just like the QR code menu thing. People just get upset because it cuts into their time on tiktok.

I think there’s better causes out there to get wound up about, that’s why. It’s really trivial.

Yeah but unlike a lot of other causes this one is easily fixed. You can't wave a magic wand and fix housing costs, gas prices, nursing shortages, the homeless problem... This you could get rid of tomorrow and all it would do is save people some time.
