A lot of the people in here would be shocked to hear that Disneyland Paris had maybe less than 5% (at a guess from the 10s of thousands of people here) of people wearing masks. And that's just Disneyland Paris.... No requirement to show vaccination status or anything anymore.
Not saying this with glee or arrogance, just making an observation. If this is true for a huge place like that in 1 country I can only imagine what it's like globally.
I think it's got to the stage globally now where a mask adds little value really, unless they're properly fitted high rating masks, and the person doesn't have a beard etc... I think they do make you more conscious of what your hands are doing and remind people perhaps to wash your hands more regularly or at least before eating etc...
Looking at the data deaths are certainly tapering down, unfortunately it's probably at the cost of the clinically vulnerable
Regardless of your perspective or opinions I think we've got to the stage where we just have to respect different viewpoints and attitudes to risk and the disease now. I completely respect and appreciate those that are still worried and take precautions and I also hold no judgement to fellow parents who are toying with vaccinating their young kids. Everyone should be entitled to follow their instincts and appetite for risk individually without any finger pointing or aggressive tribal hate.
