I did orientation where nobody wore masks at a job today, previously being the only masked person at interviews. It would let me work alone outside so generally COVID-safe, but that office gave me the same feeling going into a structural fire does. From now on I'm just staying masked and saying that someone at home is immunocompromised. Normality is such a false sense of confidence that I won't do it unless this area has no active cases for like a week. We're still sitting at around 200 positive tests in just this county last week, not including home tests. Basic omicron's R0 value is 8-15, so by the time they're no longer infectious those 200 cases could become 1600-3000 as normality returns to public gatherings.
