Grand scheme of things a reasonably minor inconvenience relative to every other shitty thing that we've been forced to put up with for 18 months. If keeping the masks in certain situations gets rid of those things sooner sign me up.
I'd hope we loosen it a bit for the seemingly lower risk situations (i.e taking it off to drink your pint, putting it back on to order your next one). But honestly, if we keep them full time for visiting hospitals and obviously higher risk situations it would appear to me as a genuinely good thing.
Its just administration controls for the sake of administration controls and 'ticking' boxes.
Look at the last big breakout in SA, pretty much all came from the Greek Restaurant and the winery, two places where masks would not have been worn anyway due to everyone eating and drinking.
You put in this control but then allow people to sit at the footy in a crowd of 15k+ with no masks provided they have a drink or pie in the hand.
We have the controls yet the minute you enter a nightclub you don't have to wear them again...….as has been told to me by all the youngins I work with based on their Adelaide experiences.
You can go to Woolies and still rifle your hands through all the fruit and veg. You can go to the doctors sit on a waiting chair, go see the doctor and the chairs aren't being cleaned between users.
Hey you can come to my gym, wear one in our in foyer and café area yet the second you get in the gym to start breathing heavy and sweating you can take it off. Pretty much the environments you really need people wearing a mask they don't have to.
Make sure your wearing your masks for health reasons unless your a smoker then that's fine choof all day and you don't have to wear a mask.
They just keep changing the goal posts. Originally it was to flatten the curve, then there is covid zero and now its we need to do this because of the other states situations. Just getting over it, its like there hanging on to every bit of control....lets see how they move the goal posts around the vaccine numbers. What odds on sportsbet that when we get to 80% they will talk about it needing to get to 90% before things can change.
