Masks are a simple and effective way of keeping down community transmission and it is a ridiculous stance to take when case loads remain high.

I will continue to wear a mask.

I like them good masks like the 3m aurora provide a good breathing experience and they protect you from seasonal flue as well. Added benefit now in winter they even keep your face warm I am going to join the Asian countries and will wear a mask from late autumn to early spring... covid or not.

Not a child? Are you speaking of the exception to the mandates for children? Otherwise, it's usually children that have to abide by arbitrary rules without having the power to question them,.
