Nah, a year or two wearing masks doesn't magically make a healthy person immunocompromised. Asian cultures have been wearing masks for decades just to prevent the spread of the flu and common cold, and at times to filter out air pollution.Too much isolation from antigens and the 'herd' immune response will suffer though. I'm hoping we haven't done this for so long that once we stop wearing the masks around each other in public, people will respond poorly to common colds, minor flu strains that wouldn't have caused a problem before.
Let's be honest: almost nobody was following the guidelines in Texas to begin with, or throughout this entire pandemic. Their hospitals have been at maximum capacity for months now, and we're probably gonna see another spike in hospitalizations and infections within the next few days, resulting from their time without electricity or water.Anyway, Texas just rescinded all Covid-19 related restrictions, so I guess there's finally light at the end of the tunnel whether anybody likes it / wants it or not.
