No I do not support the ending of the mask mandate and I feel very strongly about this.
My husband disagrees with me. But fortunately he continues to wear one and will continue to do so as long as I want him to.
I look at it this way. It's an added layer of protection. It doesn't hurt. The more ways we protect ourselves and others the better off we will be. Is it really that hard to wear a mask? No one likes it but it's not a huge deal. Cmon. My dh feels most people wear their masks wrong and under their noses etc so what's the point. I do not agree with his reasoning.
Just wear the masks until we are out of pandemic mode. You can help protect yourself and others.
Im too scared to take the bus
mind you we have a terrible service here
The odd time ive taken it (double masked) the same bunch of older people either dont wear their mask over their nose or have it under their chin
Thankfully last time it was a very quick ride home - less than 15 min from town - but i usually seem to get some weird scenic combined route which would have been almost pleasent pre-covid
Anyway i did not feel safe
i sat under an open window as close to the back door as i could
Masks are surposed to me mandatory on public transport here still
Last week I had to catch the train around for basically the entire day! Kid had a lab that took ten thousand train trips to get to.
Omg I walked into this jam packed carriage with this girl coughing her guts out (maskless) and I was like "I'm gonna die from these trips." I only had a cloth mask on.
Fortunately haven't caught anything yet! Trains are so festy!!!
I'm all for people making their own choices at this stage. We were promised that the vaccine would give us back some semblance of normal and 95% of us have had that vaccine so time to grab back that "normal".
That said almost everyone I know has had Covid including my own kid so that's probably why I'm pretty chilled about it.
We keep attending super spreader events and frequenting packed trains so it's kinda futile to make people wear masks when I'm socialising with 10-15 maskless people in my house.
I'm amused that Australia went from bats#t insane "We are going to lock you up forever
and track down your cousin twice removed if you have Covid" to "Covid? Whatevs! Don't get bitten by mozzies, that new disease will kill you."
It should be determined by people who understand the implications. It should not be determined by a laughably underqualified political-activist judge.
