masks

Covid cases have come down to a record low, and with these new upcoming booster vaccines, it will become irrelevant. But I still see people wearing masks. Why are people still wearing masks? Who wants to live with that fear all the time?

You're imbuing more meaning into something where there is none. People aren't walking around "afraid". It's just a healthy habit people in the west have started picking up. People in Asia, for example, have worn masks for many, many decades before covid ever existed. It has simply started to culturally move into the west a bit after covid hit.

Some people feel safer with them on. I personally don’t wear mine unless I’m feeling sick.

Good to know that oxygen deprivation and breathing in microplastics is a healthy habit.
