We saw what happened before when even people who had been previously very cautious let up on their precautions, new variants came and things got worse than ever before. At this point when I see people walking around in stores without masks I think of them as being the guinea pigs. I really hope all this casting aside of masks doesn't come back to haunt us. Time will tell. I will be patient.
