    One of the nice things about post-pandemic life where I am is the normalization of wearing masks if you’re sick, vulnerable, or just feel like it. Someone shows up at work — or on public transportation — with a mask and no one bats an eye.

    (I’m in the USA in a very blue, VHCOL area, YMMV…)

      It’s nice! I don’t like my health situation being outed, so I’m glad that it’s now less acceptable to ask.

      Unfortunately, I’m in a very red area. My last boss kept exasperatedly telling me that I “don’t have to wear a mask while I’m at work”— which gave me more of a reason to wear a mask at work. Turns out, I was right. None of them were vaccinated, and my boss ended up having a heart attack which forced him to permanently close down the shop. Oh well.
