I haven't gone full
@ozzybmx yet, ie. wanting to get it over with, but I'm leaning more that way every day.
For sure, better hygiene standards than ore-covid are a good thing. But I'm over being in enforced lockdowns and pseudo lockdowns.
Vaccines are available. Most people have got them. So let's move on. Yes, get back to "normal" life, working in an office or on site, crowded pubs, MTB shuttles and all.
People who want to wear masks can wear masks. The social stigma of this is gone! It was once something you saw in HK and not Sydney. But now, noone cares if you've got a mask on. (Shit. We used to get told to take
off our helmets and sunglasses at the bank for security.)
FFS though. Noone wears masks properly anyway. Who here doesn't work in healthcare, but uses surgical masks or n95s only once; properly fitted with braces etc.; and always adheres to put on/take off procedures??
Probably noone. So we're getting a fraction of the protection masks could offer. But lambasting people who choose not to wear them when working in close contact with the same people for hours day in day out. Why?
I'm a fan of the vaccine being available to kids now. But I don't blame anyone who doesn't want to get their kids vaxxed, when the risk to kids has always been described as very low, and the current Pfizer vax option was just described as somewhat useless for the omicron variant by the Pfizer ceo himself (yes I know hospitalisation is reportedly still lower with pfizer vax).
Lastly, what's with this sort of crap!
The Queensland woman has been charged - but the cafe owners have decried the arrest as heavy handed and unnecessary.
