What's selfish is actually demanding that society changes for you (or a minority of immuno-compromised individuals). COVID was one thing, but we're way past it now and society had to go back to the normal way of things.

Did you check covid wastewater statistic over the last year when you parroted the pandemic is over?

You do realize the spanish flu is still around and found in wastewater samples too? According to your metrics, we should still be worried about the spanish flu...

The point is that I don't want to wear a mask. I tolerated it during the pandemic because it was an extreme situation. The pandemic is now over, so I no longer wear a mask. If that makes me selfish, then I'm OK with that. It is arguably no less selfish to force everyone else to wear a mask. I am not going to argue that point though because I don't even particularly care, I just don't want to wear a mask, that's all.

Funny because it seems you're the one parroting lines in this thread... you literally copy and pasted this exact response multiple times. Maybe you shouldn't be spamming?

Did you check that Sweden (as an example) had no mask mandate and no vaccinations, and came off better than many nations?

No, Sweden deciding to euthanasia its elderly did not pay off. Try harder.

Sounds like a recommendation, not a mask mandate. Plenty of people in those photos without masks.

Something important to note: many folks take their masks off for a picture, then put their masks back on. This leads non-candid photos having far few masks in them.

Sounds like playing with fire to take off something as protective and life saving as a face mask for the sake of something as trivial as a photo.

I felt pretty disappointed going to the conference. Though it’s a pivotal and awesome time to be a Python dev and historic to remove the GIL. I found the talks to be very low information and sometimes not really relevant to the title and description of the talk. For example the “Blender integration” talk was 40 minutes with 8 minutes of blender discussion. The talk on Mocking was extremely basic and spent most of the…

I agree with you.

I’m impressed with how thorough this is! It’s cool insight into the dev conference experience.

Thank you! Don't know if you remember me, but I remember you from the Wichita DevICT! I still pop in from time to time. Hope you are well. :)

Oh, absolutely :) I try to keep up on Slack, but I need to get back to going to the in-person events again. It’d be cool to reconnect there sometime!

Fair enough, but you just shot down your own argument. The disadvantage of Sweden's strategy was the elderly. For adults and younger people, the difference was negligible or even better than most other European countries. I'm willing to bet that you are in the elderly category and also that PyCon 24 didn't have many elderly people joining. Sorry man!
