Do you really believe that we have surmounted COVID? Even if the emergency is lifted will you still wear masks and take precautions, or is it back to old normal right after? I personally would remain wearing masks and avoiding crowded places for a while, even for years.
Paranoia and all that. Even with two boosters, I still wouldn’t risk it. How about you?
Health care workers aren’t paid enough to risk themselves though. So I can understand their apprehension. I don’t know how it is in bigger cities but some provincial and public hospitals now accept Covid symptoms as long as you’re vaccinated.
