they're indoors, dude. COVID is still here.
Curious if there's been a big bifurcation of covid precautions at workplaces that I'm just unaware of (since I only regularly enter one office).
It's almost certain that nearly all workplaces are doing nearly nothing in regards to COVID precautions. (After all, (because of the nature of stock investment market) COVID precautions don't generate shareholder value, and certainly have negative ROI for their parent-company's/owner's/whatever real estate investment portfolio.)
The variance will be due to a mixture of each individual's level of acceptable risk, and how clued-in they are about their local COVID situation, and COVID more generally.
But society at large has just accepted it and is back to carrying on like normal.
Neurological risks of long covid combined with the fact that 1 in 5 covid infections result in long covid in some form.
If you are a knowledge worker, long covid should be terrifying.
At this point, it's personal choice to protect yourself against Covid (and the flu, colds, et.al.).
It's the very least you can do to protect yourself (and everyone else you come in contact with later) if your work cannot be done remotely and your boss (or the nature of the work) obligates you to remain in close contact with other people's untreated exhaled air, or if your work can be done remotely, but your boss obligates you to not do it remotely.
