I'm surprised actually how easily people settled back into pre-covid ways. I thought things like widespread mask wearing, avoiding shaking hands, people wary of mass events etc. might become the new normal
From my experience it's mainly just elderly people who do still wear masks. It's funny to think what a flashpoint it was during covid though. I remember at the start hardly anyone was wearing them, then almost everyone agreed with the compulsory mask policy and people who didn't wear one were looked down upon. Like I'm fairly sure you were quite a big advocate of mask wearing during the lockdowns LT. Most people were in fairness but now within two years they've come to be thought of as silly pointless things
