The Mask Mandate…

The mask mandate at work has been lifted. I don't care. I'm going to continue to mask up in confined indoor spaces for the rest of my life.

Why?

Because the pandemic isn't over. And I don't trust people. (Yes, I realize that wearing a mask is primarily to protect other people, but at the same time, during the past two years I never got any of the usual winter upper respiratory maladies that used to—pardon the expression—plague me pre-pandemic.)
