This was completely foreseeable, but I guess the country has just given up on fighting it for the time being. Maybe once deaths hit 2 million.

It's actually funny at my place. Despite making a billion dollars saying companies didn't do enough to protect workers, we got the whole place running around without masks during a pandemic. And this was prevaccine.
In December, I had a conversation with one coworker for 5 minutes, em unmasked at em's desk, me masked at em's office door. The firm was planning a "Covid is over" dinner the next night but I had zero plans on attending that germ fest.
The next morning, I get an email from my boss that they were canceling in abundance of caution re Omicron. I said to myself "Wow, is the firm actually being proactive?" Just when I was thinking, "hey wait a minute" I got a call from the coworker saying "I tested positive." I guess my K95 saved my ass because I didn't. And OBTW later learned quite a few tested positive. So much for abundance of caution.
Fast forward a month and I am in my office when same coworker comes in without a mask and asks me "Oh, do you want me to put on a mask?" and I responded, "No, I want you to get the fuck out."
We meet with terminal cancer patients on a regular basis. What the fuck are these people thinking?
