Covid is over. Only 9000 cases and 60 deaths this week.

Dunno how you guys figure that…?
I’m a Covid virgin too, but as they say in the classics, past performance is no guarantee of future returns

Expect another COVID spike in November.

It seems that our governments have decided that it’s not worth mandating masks or isolation if non-compliance is the norm ?

I think the citizenry and governments have consigned covid to the dustbin of history, rightly or wrongly. The medicos and science types are saying that ending the mandatory quarantine period is unwise and puts the public at risk.

You can't blame the population, they want to go back to the old ways, they think declaring it's over is the first major step. It's a form of naivety, although we know some might not be altruistic the bulk just innocently want life to go back to the way things were.

Of course, like the various pandemics before it that won't be the case, never was going to be and likely never will be!

My recommendation to you is that if you are older, if you have some pre-existing condition that makes you vulnerable, wear a mask, even if you are healthy wear a mask in crowded public spaces. The science is clear, avoiding COVID is critical for your long term health. I can't believe some are willing to accept the risk when the outcome of being unlucky is so high, that inability to understand the risk seems to be a human fallibility.
