Why weren't the recruits at CTC wearing masks in any picture?

Why would they not be a "big deal?" I have a neighbor, fully vaxxed teacher. Contracted COVID in September and didn't go to the hospital, but was laid up for ten days at home.

Who doesn't think it's a "big deal?"

Could be anyone who believes in the vaccine efficacy (in terms of serious illness), and/or would consider your neighbor's experience unfortunate but anomalous. An acceptable risk, in other words. I think the behavior of the broader population these days indicates that a fairly broad swath fall into this camp. Again, not saying that is right or wrong. But am a bit surprised that you seem surprised by the notion.
