It still exists but the main problem is solved. Hospitals arent full, the virus mutated to much less deadly variants and the majority of people is immunized. Right now, Corona is just another flu. Sure its not nice but the average joe will get it now and then.
Good points, aside from equating COVID to the flu. Even with hospitals at normal census, the less deadly variants, and the vaccines, COVID is still less understood than the flu. Long-COVID, for example, is a serious problem, where as influenza rarely (if ever) has such lasting issues.
To add to this outstanding display of rationalism. The vaccines are waaay more effective at preventing COVID than masks will ever be. Dump the mask (if you are a healthy adult) and get boosted!
Actually, no. Vaccines are less effective at containing mass spread than masks and good hygiene. The deadlier variants did not spread enough for vaccines to become better than masks, and people got immunity from Omicron, including anti-vax crowd. That said, there is no hypothetical choice, so use your masks and vaccines.

Number one reason for me is that I don’t want to get Long COVID.
