For many Americans, the Covid pandemic and draconian lockdowns it ushered in feel like a thing of the past.
Biden declared the pandemic over last May, and it's not been viewed as a major voter issue since.
But for some Americans, the masking and social distancing never ended.
Sara Anne Willette, from New Jersey, has spent more than 1,600 days in isolation, rarely leaving home and planning to further isolate to the countryside.
Her hope is to get back to gardening, running, and drinking coffee on the porch.
She even plans to buy enough land so other immunocompromised people who are still isolating can live in a common space.
'I'm angry that society is largely inaccessible and I have to risk my life for the bare minimum, like medical care,' she told ABC News. 'Why live in civilization if all of it is completely inaccessible?'
Charis Hill, a California resident with 'high-level medical needs,' only breaks their quarantine once a month to meet with a masked, socially distanced group of friends.
Hill, who uses they/them pronouns, believes mask bans being proposed in the state 'make it unsafe for us to exist.'
Both patients' concerns come as Covid cases spike with back-to-school season, though deaths and hospitalizations remain at an all-time low.
Just the fact that a medical environment that is supposed to know what a virus can do, most medical environments no longer require masking, and that's what makes it unsafe for people like me to go, for anybody to go,' they told ABC News.
When they break their isolation once a month, it's in a park with friends who all wear masks, stay socially distanced, and test negative for Covid beforehand.

Totally psychotic nutjob. Someone like this should lose their right to vote. No surprise who they are voting for multiple times.
Death by Covid would be preferable to this nonsense.
I've got a guy here at work who's never removed his mask. He wears a HUGE one and you can't see his face. I half-expect to see him all masked up while he drives home.
Perhaps he even masks up in bed at night...
That’s not why she is in lockdown
Give them a break, they think they are doctors.
I crack up at drivers who mask up when they’re driving solo.
I wonder if they’ll still insist on a mask after they’re dead
Any underlying medical conditions like cancer? Or other immunity suppressing diseases? That could be another reason besides being delusional.
The solution is to desensitize yourself. It will take work on your part but you can become normal again.
Babies do it, you can too.
My favorite kind of masker to laugh at are the middle aged White businessmen who wear those ridiculous duck masks.
I can literally see the thought bubbles coming out of their head.....
“This is a once in a century pandemic, you don’t fool around with this stuff”
“My doctor went to Yale, and my sister in law went to Princeton, I listen to them, not those idiot science deniers”
We still have mask wearers around campus. It’s a big virtue signal that says “I’m a liberal” or “I have TikTok autism”.
Those masks are single use and also should be replaced after x numbers of hours of use.
I wonder just how many of their “symptoms” are caused by reusing dirty masks and NOT COVID?
I only wore a mask in places like grocery stores when it was mandatory. The minute I left I took it off. My limit was about half an hour before I began to feel not that good wearing one. The only places left I can see where they want you to wear them are in hospitals and some doctors offices.
The virus can pass through the mask.
I’m angry that society is largely inaccessible and I have to risk my life for the bare minimum, like medical care,’ she told ABC News. ‘Why live in civilization if all of it is completely inaccessible?’
.......
That’s a delusional individual...
Uttering the words ‘civilization’ and ‘completely inaccsssible’ in the same sentence in America is a delusional person.
Btw, who just so happened to find accessibility to a reporter..
It sounds like you violated Free Republic rules by reading beyond the headline.
“The virus can pass through the mask.”
Let that be our little secret.
When the crazies figure that out they will go even more nuts than they are now.
I just can’t make my self feel sorry for stupid people.
