I don’t get the issue with masks.  Many countries in Asia use them as part of every day life in public settings.  

The ignorance of how the rest of the world is treating this in that post above is mind boggling. 

They've done that for decades for a multitude of reasons. Mostly air pollution, which is a massive problem over there. I don't think it's a strong comparison TBH.
Based on my experience spending time in China, it wasn't due to air pollution but was to stop the spread of viruses etc. I specifically asked a work colleague one day as was curious.

Personal choice on mask wearing should be the option.......the cotton ones are very adaptable and can also be used as budgie smugglers on your holiers.

I think I’ll continue to wear masks. I thought social distancing in shops was good. Nice to have a bit of space in queues. I hop shaking hands is finished also.

yeah there is a lot of personal space invaders in this country.  Nothing to do with COVID but arseholes right up close and personal in a Q should be sent to the walkinstown roundabout for a month.

It's mad how covid precautions have changed everyday things. 

For example, with my new baby and making funny faces at her, I'm cautious not to stick out my tongue and make fart noises with it as I don't want to be sending any saliva droplets her way. 
Or giving her a little kiss I would do it away from her mouth, nose, eyes but just on the head. 

I think social distancing being ripped up I think I would still not feel right with people up my arse in queues. 

Will be awhile before we are fully back to the mindset we were in pre-covid

Are you for real?  Ffs. Give your baby all the love and affection you would normally have.  Don’t let COVID have legacy impacts it doesn’t deserve to have.

You'd be surprised how many people in queues are too stupid to understand how far you're supposed to stand back. I've had a couple of older people have a go at me even with signs everywhere showing them in bright colours what the required distances are.

I'd say the majority of the time I have people right up my arse in queues, particularly younger people, and I leave them to it.

I'm not going to get into a barmy over it every time it happens or it would be happening all the time.

Do ya not think the masks are a pain in the hole? Popping into a shop for 10mns is one thing, but indoors any longer than that and I can't stand them

And the stares of judgement if you forget them ONE time or have to go into a shop to buy one. 

The amount of times I've had to traipse back to the house after walking for ten or fifteen minutes because I forgot to bring one and I don't want people acting the maggot.

Keeping masks for the next few months in crowded spaces i think is the sensible thing to do. See how it pans out with lifting the rest of restrictions before we go all out. I suspect a lot of people will just stop wearing them anyway in the next few weeks. It will pribably go that way.

I might give her a handshake now restrictions are removed.
Ah no, I am not saying I never give her that attention, just a lot more cautious about it so not as slobbering over her as previous child. But your right, I should.

Do shops not have spares in case people forget them?

Many of those people were sitting at home because they were told to do that, as they had lost their job. At least the medics had somewhere to go and something to focus on every day. 

Any loosening of restrictions, in this or any other country earlier than anticipated, is an admission that the restrictions imposed because of Omicron were embarrassingly ott. Instead of handing out tax credits, it would be more appropriate to apologise to the nation for cancelling Christmas and kicking thousands of people out of work, based on wildly inaccurate projections. South Africa deserve an apology also for all the flight cancellations, and draconian restrictions imposed on anyone who was or came from there.

The Department of Hardship conceded last week that the 500,000 cases and other projections they make, is based primarily on "educated guesswork" aka they haven't a clue. South Africa told us from Day 1 that Omicron was not a damaging variant, but we didn't listen to them. If it was the first variant rather than the latest variant, we would have accepted that it was nothing worse than a run of the mill winter flu bug as we used to with no restrictions to endure, rather than the killer plague it was portrayed, when it was merely as lethal to most people as toilet paper.
