Next lockdown will begin end of May?
Still wearing my mask on the TTC indefinitely thnx.
eh I've seen studies suggesting that most transmission occurs within like 6 feet of the infected person, so there may be more logic to the masking approach restaurants have taken than we initially gave credit for.I'm happy to stop mask bylaws in places where it's on theatre anyways. I'm starting to get annoyed by the whole "wear a mask when you get up to go to the bathroom in a restaurant" setup. But stuff like the TTC where you're packed into a low ventilation location with a bunch of strangers? Honestly it's going to be hard for me to ever go back to not masking up there.
Ya I find I’m harassing far fewer women on my morning commute.Wearing a mask on public transit in Toronto has benefits even if covid was never a thing. Lessens the pungency of BO and less men bother me (sorry, I’m sure you’re all lovely).

I mean, I'm open to hearing the argument for this....but I don't see how this doesn't fly in the face of everything that we actually know about covid. The shit is airborn, masking is extremely effective against it, and we're still reporting about 2000 new cases per day.
Am I the only one this seems like absolute madness to?
2000 cases with estimates being 10x that! Glad to see deaths and hospitalizations slow down but that's a lot of long covid!
no, what she actually means is "we are done trying to manage this pandemic and are just going to pretend it does not exist until we are forced to acknowledge it again"I mean, I'm open to hearing the argument for this....but I don't see how this doesn't fly in the face of everything that we actually know about covid.

I mean yeah wouldn't this 'lull' be close to the peaks of some other waves? Basically just letting vaccines and prior immunity do all the heavy lifting. Of course we know the foibles of that approach...2000 cases with estimates being 10x that! Glad to see deaths and hospitalizations slow down but that's a lot of long covid!
