Re: Masks
Wonder what the urbanized primates who live in close proximity think about the mask wearing humans, I would venture other primates recognize humans as a primate, poor things are at risk for COVID so hopefully they social distance.

Re: Masks
I hope that everyone here will be throwing out their cloth facial masks and will be upgrading to N95 or FFP2 ? :unsure:

Re: Masks
All airports are under federal rules, so will require masks until Ottawa removes them
UBC has announced masks will still be required. Businesses can make up their own minds, and require masks be worn. Masks are still required in health centres, hospitals, clinics, and care homes. Personally, I'll continue to carry a mask with me, and wear it on transit or inside if I feel the need to. |
Re: Masks
Mask mandate is going away in Ontario, but my sense is the majority of the public are still going to be wearing them, even in places where it isn't mandated. I went on a date recently (last week) where the date showed up with a mask on. Selling things on marketplace the buyers always show up to my house with a mask. Even in places where it isn't enforced, people are still wearing them. Personally I think removing the mandate is too soon, if only for the fact that it will be a tough pill to reinstate it if there is another variant. If another variant sweeps in and we don't bring back a mandate fast enough cases could go up to the point of another lockdown. I'd much prefer to mask up then deal with another lockdown especially in the nicer weather.
I haven't 100% made up my mind, but I think I will still be wearing one for a while and see if this lasts. As many on here know I am quite vocally against lockdowns and the way I see it keeping something as harmless as masking in place seems a small price to pay for further insurance against more draconian lockdowns, the likes of which we saw less then 6 weeks ago here in Ontario. It's a bit of a mind **** the way the government has pivoted from maximum restrictions to "Covid? What's that?" |

It's a bit of a mind **** the way the government has pivoted from maximum restrictions to "Covid? What's that?" My SD came home in a bad mood today. She's wearing her mask at the cashdesk (HomeSense) and an unmasked customer said something about understanding that but not for the staff out on the floor. She asked SD if she'd wear one if she was out on the floor, got the answer 'yes' and the customer went off on one saying something like "Why, it's all over." I suppose the customer could have meant the mandates rather than Covid has gone. |

There's no longer a mandate in the UK but lots of people, slightly less than half I'd say, were wearing masks last week. |

I had a trip to Tesco's on Sunday and would say less that 10% of the customers were wearing masks and zero of the staff.
Therefore I conclude that the risk-aware shoppers are still shopping at the quiet times of day, and taking masking precautions, and that the less-concerned are neither shopping at a quiet time, nor wearing a mask. |
