It's 2024. Covid is no longer that much worse than the flu. Unless you have some condition, you don't need to mask anymore. Covid is still a thing, yes, and masks still help, but it's not going away, we're better prepared for it, and it's evolving to be more infectious and less lethal.

It's really hard to find data by year, but the second graph on this page is close enough: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm

So yeah, wear a mask if you want, but don't shame others for refusing to do so.
