"Long COVID is still stalking the land, and its symptoms can be severe. While most people may be ready to move on, millions of Americans can’t. So, no, the pandemic is not over – not for them, nor for the rest of us, really.

Getting infected again is particularly awful for people with long COVID because it can cause them to deteriorate further – even to the point of being bedbound – or trigger a recurrence for those who have improved.

That’s a big reason why many of these folks and their loved ones are still wearing masks. Long #COVID is a huge public health crisis: More than 16 million Americans have lingering symptoms of the virus"

I'm not particularly worried about it, I'm sure the business(es) involved will face serious fines or losing any existing licenses.
