Treat it like the flu is it, we know is there, if you are sickly or elderly, be careful like you would during flu season. But leave it up to each individual persons taste. We have no more restrictions, all ended, except medical places, wear a mask that doesnt work (hint, hands touching face after touching everything else like railings etc)

I don’t worry much about improper mask wearing. It’s the batting average that we have to count on in making a difference over time.

I like the idea of doctors’ offices, emergency rooms, medical testing facilities, etc. requiring masking.

Bringing both sick and healthy people together into waiting rooms never made much sense to me. Worse, some waiting rooms pack every everyone together into quite small spaces which seems to challenge basic common sense.

“Health experts are worried a so-called tripledemic of flu, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and coronavirus could swamp hospitals this winter.

Listened to this podcast about cold weather, the nose, and viruses and am thinking I might mask (in public) every winter. This has been the first year in decades that I also got a flu shot, don't normally bother but the news of a tripledemic "encouraged" me to get one. https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/winter-cold-respiratory-infection/?utm_source= wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri

Are we living out a movie plot where 'we' opened Pandora's Box and we cant stuff the virus back in.....before we all die shouldnt those responsible be held accountable? Thats the way a movie ends.

Pandora’s box was already opened via twits on twitter, Facebook, etc.

Way, WAY too many people incapable of withholding their judgement in the face of incomplete information.
