Professor where I work holds an annual party at her house for returning grad students. I turned down two invites as part of my virus-avoidance strategy. She (who recently recovered from her mild case...) made a funny face yesterday and said I could just hang outside and wear a mask. I told her you can't drink wine with a mask on, but that wasn't really the reason - I didn't elaborate on the fact that I'm not really interested in small talk with folks I don't know well anyway, it's torture at the best of times, but masked and outside in the fall chill, um, double nope. I'm 4x vaxxed and looking forward to the next booster but still wear the N95s pretty much everywhere I need to be indoors that isn't my 3x HEPA filtered office space. I'm also nearly 70 and am really not interested in getting it or any of the other lovely things going around right now. Also I think I'm just not a fan of people in general anymore... Hold the line folks, the pressure's building to just get on with things, but I'm DOING IT MY WAY. 😎

The general attitude seems to be 'why try and fight it when it's everywhere.' I reckon if my N95 stops even one transmission a day, that's a drop in the big bucket, and if everyone did it, it would really help. But noooo.... we have to just give up? 😱 I'm going to start asking them what 'giving up' means to them -- no more mask? no more vaxxing? just travelling + gathering whenever/wherever?
