Is it me or have we accepted Covid -19 as new normal

Don’t get me wrong, I painfully live with it everyday at work but the rest of the world seems have bounced back pretty quickly .

In the world in which I live, people seem to have adjusted pretty well. Those who wear face masks are continuing to do so while addressing their usual chores, while those who don't wear masks are continuing to NOT wear them.

That’s not too bad.

@Niloo Well, it more than a little disconcerting that the number of Covid cases are continuing to rise in the US because of the number of people who refuse to practice the suggested directives. A lot of Americans don't think they [i]have[/i] to wear face masks. I don't know why. Arrogance? Stupidity? Feelings of invincibility? Who knows?

@PhoenixPhail
I think it’s the sense of invincibility
I know quite a few physicians how don’t wear masks
One of them threw a huge party and invited the rest last weekend !!!
So, they know what to do. They just feel like they won’t catch it .

@Niloo Yeah. Out of sight, out of mind I guess. Even [i]after[/i] the lockdown is lifted I'm going to wear my mask for some time.
