The viruses that cause these illnesses linger in your body forever.
Keeping COVID from busting those two out of jail is reason enough to keep masking — even if there WEREN'T a couple dozen other reasons to do so anyways.

“12% of people wear masks in public” is not the same statement as “12% of people in any given public space will be wearing masks,” because many of us still wearing masks are also reducing/shortening trips, using curbside, shopping at off-peak hours, favoring outdoor venues, etc.

Exactly. If they truly believed that COVID was over, they’d see someone else wearing a mask and just go on with their day.
The fact that they need to challenge people over it stems from the fact that they know they should be masking too and are upset at the reminder.

Getting a vaccine is like having an air bag in your car.
It might make the difference between "seriously injured" and "dead." But it doesn't mean you can unbuckle your seatbelt, and you still need to drive safely.
And unlike your air bag, you need to re-up it regularly.
Really depressed that people truly believe vaccination is "doing their part" to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
And frankly I blame public health messaging for not making it abundantly clear to people that the vaccines don't prevent transmission or infection and wear off quick.
