Nah. Just old and vulnerable health. Had to take severe precautions. Now I'm bored and don't give a shit if my life depends on it anymore. Ironic thing, I always said we could lose to the microbes, then covid and all its mutations came along. Thought I'd be dead by now, so I think I just might live a bit first.

Several co-morbidities here and I’m basically where you are. Fully vaxxed and boosted, I do the flu shot every year, I’ll still mask up on public transit, and my work shuttle (MASCO) requires you to mask up even if you don’t want to. Only so much you can do. Of course I don’t want anything to happen, but the Big Guy might have different plans. I’ll hang out at the bar, enjoy a couple cold ones and BS, and hope for the best.

Yeah, I still wear a mask in crowded conditions, like public transit and waiting rooms. Some of the people in my building are ancient, so I'm cautious around them. But, yeah, overall, hoping for the best.
