chiman Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I believe masks helps, but have you ever picked up your child from school and checked their mask out? My sons masks is filthy, no way that is healthy for him. These kids grab the front of their masks all day, they fall on the floor, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Daimler Posted March 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2022 Before Covid i lived in Thailand for years but while there is a mask mandate i will never come back. I think the decision to leave 2 years ago until this is sorted was the best decision i could have made. I am enjoying seeing my own country again and now look at it with new appreciation 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 It took only a day to filter down to the leaders, who panicked. Wait a minute. Without masks people will start to feel more comfortable, and less afraid. And fear and panic is our greatest ally. We can't let that happen. God forbid the people get comfortable. They might take to the streets again, and show their extreme disapproval at our horrible performance. Keep the face diapers forever! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one really cares anymore.........You don't need to be given the ok from anyone, to wear one or not.. They are not always pointless depending on the mask quality, whether it is worn properly and the specific setting. But as far as outdoors in parks, yeah probably pointless.

Jingthing Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Here's another theory about why the authorities are slow to change on this. Perhaps they regard the public like children incapable of differentiating. Loosen up outdoor rules and then too many people might think they can be maskless indoors. Like an all or nothing.

Mr Derek Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Whatever the government puts out, many people will be wearing masks for at least another couple of years, and perhaps they will never stop as long as Covid is still around, and I think it is clear that Covid is not going to disappear completely. The quality of life is wrecked for the foreseeable future, I'm afraid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has not been the case in the UK as far as I am aware. As soon as regulations were lifted , mask wearers became very much the minority.
