Coronavirus Pandemic

i still think they should keep them in place on public transport though it would probably just cause lots of arguments so hey let's just hope none of us add to the wrong statistics

Just have to get to the 19th without a new, deadly strain that kills everyone on the planet without actually killing them or even making them sick.

I'm actually quite interested to see if they have the balls to pull the same stunt yet again.

Then continue wearing one, it’s your choice

I suspect many will continue to wear them on rush hour trains etc but when its quiet and no one is near you, why should you need to wear a mask still especially when almost all will be fully vaccinated shortly?

Perhaps there should be encouragement that if you feel you have a cold coming on, you wear one when travelling to protect others (although the last 18 months has shown you can work from home so no need to travel if ill & infect everyone) but its a big ask to continue to expect healthy fully vaccinated people to wear a mask all the time in public.

It’s the one massive difference between western culture & Asian one and i dont think its likely to change either

Right. But the point of masks isn't to protect you, it's to protect others. So if no-one else is wearing one then it's a bit pointless you doing.
My gut feel is that most people will go back to not wearing one because we mostly hate the things.

Don't worry, dude, lambda's got your back

Maybe it will be like in Asia where they wear masks out of courtesy if they’re feeling ill.

I sure as hell won’t be wearing a mask again though and I imagine once restrictions are fully lifted this country will go back to exactly the way it was before this shit kicked off.

Roll on the 19th.

Can't help feeling this is all just part of a longer term thing, open up and make it a "personal decision" then row back on it further down the line by putting the blame on a lack of responsibility and that "the government needs to act".

I'm definitely not gonna miss masks, but I might just keep one if I'm stuffed on a busy train or whatever since the thought of being half an inch from some stranger's face/armpit makes me

But yeah, hopefully there will just be a little more consideration now. If someone has got a bad cold, or the flu or whatever, just stay the fuck away. And maybe a little more leeway and where possible, work from home.... though that won't last.

This is super-long, but quite funny and an interesting expose of the whole vaccines/autism stuff

Great video, that. I was a bit young when it was all going on, but I remember the fallout. Didn't know about it in that much detail.

Even the guy that started the antivax movement wasn't antivax, he was just trying to sell an alternative vaccine

Oh! Someone actually watched it!

He does a good one on climate change too.
It is interesting how issues which are basically settled science become hotly debated by people who don't know what they're talking about.
Good old internet, eh?
