Rechu, it sucks they're going for the less effective vaccine!

To be honest, I didn't think about other counties either The EU isn't getting the doses they reserved though due to shortage.

We now have to wear "medical" face masks on public transport and in stores. Either surgical face mask or KN95 are acceptable. Not sure how I feel about that. The fabric of surgical masks might be better suited for the job but at least the ones we got at work, the fit was terrible - in that regard, my cloth ones fit way better. And they're washable. The surgical masks also smelled horrible. I wore a KN95 one for the first time this morning for grocery shopping and it was definitely more uncomfortable. And such a waste to wear an expensive mask for 10 minutes in the store and it should theoretically be thrown out after one use.
