I attended a small comic book show today, and was one of the very few people wearing a mask. Well, that’s not correct. There were cosplay fans wearing superhero masks. I wore a mask intended to prevent contracting Covid-Omicron BA.5, the most communicable mutation yet.
My Moderna booster was back on November 4, and it’s safe to assume that its protection has worn off, so wearing a mask is my only protection against BA.5. For the first time, I’m going against the CDC recommendation on vaccination. For my age, they’re saying don’t wait for a Omicron-specific vaccine, get a shot now, but I’ve decided to wait.
I judge public concern by masks at the supermarket. So far, BA.5 hasn’t increased the count.
not all comic fans are that stupid, my local shop still requires masks.( i think its hub comics).
