Don't need to worry about their germs or their airborne viral loads. Businesses checking people's temperatures before they enter is kinda nice. I wouldn't mind some businesses continuing to refuse entrance to some obviously sick people if they can save my ass from getting sick.

I also like my waiters and waitresses to have masks. Always found it gross when a waiter/waitress would put my food down and begin engaging me in conversations as their small spittle goes flying across the table (and inevitably onto my food). I don't want them to be uncomfortable though, and so I'm cool with it not staying, their job is difficult enough, but damn, there's been some serious improvements to my life with the pandemic. I like the masks in this particular scenario.

I used to have to go in-house to work, now I do it from home. The pandemic forced the corporate dummies to improvise, and surprise surprise, when workers are happier with their work environment, they're just as, if not more productive.
