I hate living in a state that so vehemently denies science or says things like “COVID isn’t a big deal, everyone has to get it at least once”. I haven’t gotten COVID yet and I don’t intend on it, not for as long as I can continue to dodge it. But seeing so many people “forget” to wear masks, or hearing about them having done so, continues to bother me since it would be a lot worse for someone like me to catch COVID to begin with.
