Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XII *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

Companies won't be enforcing it - all that would happen is they lose business to those who don't.

Besides, as awec says, it's not something they particularly wanted to do in the first place and one thing I'm noticing in the last few days is the lack of Covid signage around retail now. A lot seem to be already moving on.

The last I heard was a date of February 28th, can't find that link to back up this claim though

Twitter is a complete sesspit with all the Twitter knights still calling for “temporary “ shutdowns. Some obviously still think Omicron can be contained. I’d say the New Zealand people are going to have some fight on their hands to regain their freedoms back especially when omicron really rips through the population.

She's a strong capable leader. They're not really turning against her. What is it about some men that feel threatened by women in positions of authority?

I've not wore a mask in a shop or deli this week, security no longer asking. But the stares you get out of some people are crazy.

Sure even the most rule following, jab nagger, in our office is now out with covid and sounds like ****, 3rd jab couldn't protect them against the ski trip weekend away flu.

The point being, masks did fudge all for transmission and jabs too. Glad we are getting back to normal, sadly lots of people will clingy onto this as long as they can.

Watching whats happening in progressive Canada at the minute is shocking. Native Elderly woman trampled by police on horse back...Trudeau was a tool since I lived there and even more so now.

Looking forward to the mask dropping, I really do grow weary of them... I'll wear on the Luas or in the event I get a bus (never) but otherwise I'm good to not do so.

Strange though, two of my team are currently off sick with COVID, both pretty under the weather too, I thought all of this "off sick" was over... apparently not.

100%. If someone feels that threatened, they should simply buy a treadmill or turbotrainer and never leave the house again. Weirdos

That's what happened in London. Sadiq Khan said masks would remain mandatory on public transport in London. In reality though, there's no enforcement and compliance around 50% (when I was last there anyway).

The language used in that tweet is directly from the conspiracy theory loons and parroted by the sheep that follow them.

And just for how easily you get duped (one of the many replies debunking those tweets in between cough "COVID deniers").

To me though that kinda makes sense, at least for now.

That's probably at least partly because the messaging as to what is and isn't covered (no pun intended!) has been confused and contradictory from the start - possibly deliberately so. It was the same in the hotel I was in last week.

People therefore just wear masks everywhere "just in case", but when the mandatory aspect is removed completely next week, masks will quickly follow - maybe not the same day, but certainly by Paddy's Day

Me I'll be dumping them immediately.. I haven't been afraid or even particularly concerned by this thing since it became clear in the summer of 2020 that unless you were elderly and/or immunocompromised (or lived with/interacted regularly with someone who was) the risk was minimal, and I think this whole "crisis" has been mismanaged since that point by a Government afraid of making a decision they might be held accountable for, and a public health cadre more concerned with covering their own asses in regards the mismanagement of the health services of this country for decades than protecting the actually vulnerable. The societal impact and division they've caused is massive and will be felt for a long time to come!

But that's me!
