@AzulOscuro - Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with requiring masks on public transit or other enclosed spaces where people are close together. However, I think that we must be the only or one of the only countries that requires masks anywhere outside. When I go for walks in my neighborhood, there is usually no one around. When I come across people, we keep a decent distance. It's silly. The transmission risks in a situation like that must be tiny. I have severe respiratory allergies that don't respond well to treatment, so wearing a mask is pretty uncomfortable for me.


I think most countries have also gotten rid of vaccine passports, but not here.
