Typically when code changes existing permits are grandfathered in, they don't pull outstanding permits and make them comply with new code.

You know, right before lockdown I was hanging out with a friend and I said something to the effect of 'eh, I do feel like people are overreacting a bit but at least this should normalize mask wearing when you're sick like in parts of Asia.'
