Does your country still have a mask mandate in place?

Indoor mask mandates are being removed on Monday in my city but people are already rude to those who choose to keep the mask.

My strategy is to just call the sheep for removing their masks bc government told them to

Yes, indoors.

But I noticed that most people don't care much about it recently.

Yeah masks being removed means I will be less willing to go out for shopping and activities.

Alot of other people feel the same as me. I think some businesses will suffer from this instead of recovering like people think.

Quote from keaji

Really?

I don't mind the mask and I always wear it indoors, but I'm not bothered with other people not wearing it if the situation gets better and it's not mandatory.

Of course when you're feeling well and don't have any signs etc.

Also this probably depends on area where you live, but where I'm from, I doubt any businesses would suffer if mask wasn't mandatory, people struggle more with having to wear it actually.

Well the number of cases are sky rocketing where I live

Also it's a very mixed multicultural city

Alot of Asians(whole continent not just east asians) who are not comfortable with this, hence they stay home or do outdoor activities with better weather now

I think indoor shops and businesses will get a big hit this spring summer

Also college profs and TAs already announced a boycott if masks are removed and they won't teach

The government is just ignoring the majority for the loud minority

Wow! Your lucky your country is already Covid free

No

highest covid cases currently

But who cares about numbers

it's all about the feels

I don't know about federal, but my state doesn't have one anymore and I hate it.

We can cry together

Quote from Minkah

It was decided today that wearing a mask will no longer be mandatory in public places.

Which is pretty telling considering we're also recording 200k+ new cases per day with hospital admissions well above what was deemed acceptable a few months ago.

So I guess what our government is really saying here is: we tried, but voters are tired of the restrictions so you're on your own now. Good luck.

I wonder if we live in a same place bc thats the story
