    They are doing wrong and wearing masks to avoid retaliation.  But
the
epidemic
is still around but only us older people are dying as i know.  But i
wear a mask when
ourside to catch a bit of the pollen and other allergens circulating. If
I start to cough,
usually from allergy, it helps the other oeople near me on the bus to
relax.
  The climate in San Francisco is suited to have many blooming plants
all year long.
The city is always building or repairing and dust is an ever-present
problem.

Hmmm. I haven't heard of any COVID deaths in at least two years. (My
wife died in March 2022 and her death certificate said COVID solely on
the basis of a non-authorized (by me) post mortem COVID test that
tested positive though there were no other symptoms. My GP said that
based on my description that it sounded to him more like a cardiac
though he knew that some heart attacks he knew of were of recovered
COVID patients who it was believed had had their natural defences
weakened as a result of COVID.

I do see people wearing masks but certainly nowhere near the numbers
we all saw in 2020-2021.

 
     I have not seen the latest numbers so I had to go and look for them.

And the rest of the world where we live.

     So deaths are way down but for older people and people with immune
respiratory or cardiac problems infection is to be avoided.
 
     Oh and the CDC won't be reporting on this because Kennedy Jr. has
cancelled data collection.  Remember in Term 1 Orange Face said reporting
was bad.
 

Ya, I think COVID is going to be a semi-permanent hazard for the elderly
and immune compromised going forward.  Unfortunately it is just another
addition to a too long list of such infections.

IIRC, I suggested at the time that COVID shots would eventually become
part of the annual flue shot.

And, IIRC, I was told I was stating the obvious. IOW, there was a lot
of agreement here on it.
