This Washington Post article on what precautions Covid experts are taking now is boggling my mind.

Expert A: I'm still taking a lot of precautions.

Expert B: I'm still taking precautions, but trying to spin it like I'm not.

Expert C: I keep forgetting to take precautions.

Expert D: Eh, I don't do much.

Expert E: I'm partying like it's 2019!

Meanwhile, I'm begging for the restoration of mask protections on public transit via the Birdsite and the Fediverse and Facebook.

I don't know if the journalist deliberately sought out scientists with divergent opinions, but I would have expected a little more consensus (and a little more overall caution). A direct quote from one of the interviewees: "There is nothing I won’t do because of covid."

This behavior, to me, is why ppl who have been careful for three years are now getting it, including me and T. And I think whatever's out there now is way more contagious. It's infuriating.

Exactly. It's so frustrating.
