My son and his wife got came back from a 2 week vacation in Italy about a week ago. Very few people wore masks while they were there. They didn't either, except on the planes. My son's wife, Tina, complained that having to wear a mask while trying to sleep during the longest flight was extremely uncomfortable.In May, 2022, Italy will scrap vaccine and masks mandates. Good news for those wishing to enjoy more freedoms there.
True. And I get why the mask has become a symbol of the fight for freedom, but I agree it's a totally lame and unnecessarily divisive one. It confuses the issue, trivializes it, bogs it down with controversy and color-coded labels...more a diversion than an icon to rally lovers of democracy and every individual's right to autonomy.That's what the mask is @Murrmurr an uncomfortable inconvenience having naught to do with FREEDOM. Freedom is a BIG, big word tangled up to equate it with mere annoyance.
