COVID infection rates have dropped since the December holiday season but are still higher in many areas than last fall. But institutions from schools to businesses have essentially told workers "So what" go back and risk your long term health and potentially worse
This is driven by a naive desire to return to "normal" even as the Omicron Variant has become prevalent. Of the over 20 people I know personally who've contracted COVID in the last month all of them are vaccinated and most were boosted and range from 16 to 52
Privately people are simply making thier own rules up because thier employers don't care and honestly the crisis in confidence in authorities and employers is likely at an all time low. Who can trust a boss that puts them at risk unnecessarily?
A friend of mine & faculty member said "At this point it's like we're all in a science experiment and they're just going to see what the results are in a few years." It's a grotesque example of the nihilism many people have adopted in the face of corporate and institutional greed
