It was indeed to protect others in the days that covid was not abundant in the air.

Now it's everywhere and there isn't really any point to limit the spread. Sooner or later everyone is getting it anyway. There are no peaks overloading the system anymore.

If I'm sick I'll just stay home instead, whether it's covid or something else.

I'm really glad we don't have a formal society like Japan though.



what do you mean by a formal society?


The way people are so regimental. People are very formal, you can see it in everything. The way they queue even, how they are so traditional and don't like people deviating from the norm. It's a very strict society.

It would not work for me as I really embrace individuality and casual norms.
