The medical practice I've patronized for almost 30 years in the Bay Area lifted its mask mandate for its employees and patients. IMO it's grossly irresponsible, and will lead to more illness and deaths -- especially among older patients. I'm actively looking for a practice that requires masks, but suspect -- given America's total capitulation to covid -- I won't find one.

I don't give a damn if I'm the only one indoors with other people who's wearing a mask (and that's been the case a number of times lately). I've avoided covid so far and, as someone in a higher-risk group, will do my best to maintain that as long as possible.

I've been happy to protect others, but Americans overall have decided that their personal convenience far outweighs the health and lives of millions of others,

@dangillmor My partner and I have been masking since the start. Everywhere. Not caught it yet. I am also in a risk group. I also see most everyone walking around in closed spaces with no mask.
I will continue to mask up. The give-in to this is simply not understandable.

@threeforks @dangillmor I understand it as people trusting the vaccine, no?

@FaceliftMcDarby @dangillmor which vaccine? I believe you try to stay up with currently issued shots as much as you can.
