Exact;y, I tend to throw a "How Dare You' at someone who sneezes or coughs in public like they've committed som unforgivable social fopar...Then realizing it's not really a big deal haha we all cough and sneeze...
I think it's wise still to have a mask at least on you, so if things get uncomfortably crowded, you can put it on.
Me! And I have no idea how!
The last time I went to the GP the office is really strict that it must be surgical masks not cloth ones, and if you don't have one they will make you buy one from them. (luckily we have some) Then when get in to see the doc and he is wearing his incorrectly with his nose fully out and half the time his mouth exposed. Okay....
Same! It seems that while it's very contagious that it only is for some people. My youngest son got it but his partner didn't my eldest son went away for a weekend with his mates, drove one of them home and found out the next day that his mate tested positive but my son never got it and then his partner got it but he still didn't.
Haha! I need another cup of tea I think! I thought you meant that you'd been to a Grand Prix! Haha! I think I'll put the kettle on...
Good grief. Most masks are useless now. You need a properly fitted N95 one (i.e. no leakage around the edges), and even they can't completely prevent B.A.5. This strain is a growing worry.
I still (as far as I know have not had it) but I do think that flight home to NZ is going to be the time I can see me getting it if not before.
How far off is that?
not sure yet - every time we think we have things sorted we have another delay. Probably end of Aug/September?
I haven't had it yet - but I do live on a farm in the remote outback sort of.. the town I live near only has 200 people. The closest major town is 100 km's away.
So typical, I have been waiting for them to announce this as I only go into town once a month and today I went, then on the way back home around 3pm the news said we can get it as of Monday .... Oh well, I'll book it in for next month or September.
So far
I’ve been to lots of shows / concerts recently and I would say less than 10% are wearing masks these days.
It's crazy though. 60 people dying a day? And everyone is fine with that? WTF.
We went and saw Ben Elton in Newcastle last April, after the show had been cancelled in March 2020, and even back the no one wore masks. It's insane!
And the most common government message I see, if I see one at all, is the one telling me to take Panadol if I get it. The messaging is abysmal.
