I'm not quite as optimistic, but perhaps that's because I live in Vermont, the most jabbed and fearful state in the nation. I use the presence of masks as a indicator of the fear level, and there are some days where nearly everybody in the food co-ops is wearing a face diaper.

I'm not quite as optimistic, but perhaps that's because I live in Vermont, the most jabbed and fearful state in the nation. I use the presence of masks as a indicator of the fear level, and there are some days where nearly everybody in the food co-ops is wearing a face diaper. The library where I volunteer still requires masks. Furthermore, even though government-issued mandates may have stopped, some businesses, especially those in the classical music world, continue to implement medical apartheid.
My overall impression is that people who believe in masks, jabs, and lockdowns will never, ever let go of those beliefs, even when confronted with the obvious fact that none of these things is of any value, and actually cause great harm. If only there were a way to get all the Covidian Cult members to move to specially designated areas where they can practice their fear-based insanity without disturbing the rest of us! Since that's not likely to happen, the answer (for me, at least) may be to move to an area where the insanity is minimal.
Yes Mark you are right on point. I live in Thailand. Mask mandates officially ended the 1st of July.
All. the emergency laws were cancelled on the 1st October 2022, along with the Covid "committee." - But here we are Jan 2023 and 99% of Thais outside their homes are still masking up - and the government offices insist on it as do the banks. All other stores leave it up to the customers - but the majority do it even outdoors in 35 degrees Celcius where no virus can exist. I ask people all the time why they are still wearing a mask. The majority say that they are afraid of the criticizm of others. Shop owners tell me they think their customers expect it - so the majority of staff everywhere are masked. And many young healthy people tell me 'it protects others.' Insanity.
