context: Since December test centers don’t have to test people with symptoms anymore, even those that do self-test, and test positive don’t have to call in sick and quarantine anymore.

  I would still use my mask. This seems to me like a bad idea .
  Oh well, it will all come back once avian flu jumps to humans. Only things will be much much worse with the 50% mortality rate. >

  I just got back from a company-wide conference. Out of my team of 12, 6 are ill with Covid and will be out next week. Numbers sound pretty similar from other teams. No one (but me! ha ha suckers) wore a mask. I skipped some of the parties and ate separately from the crowd, and seem to be doing ok.
  Masks work, yo.
