With increasing talk of a possible end to the wearing of masks outdoors, preventive medicine expert Joan Carles March is one who is calling for caution. He says that where the compulsory wearing of masks outdoors has been abandoned, there has been a higher rate of vaccination than in the Balearics; Israel is a prime example. "Ideally, 50 to 60 per cent of the population should have been vaccinated twice." In the Balearics, the figure at present is 29%.

Wearing a mask when there is no one else about? well the concept has always been stupid. In enclosed spaces, markets etc, seems reasonable even if not proven, but the real problem is touching, this seems to have dropped off the agenda, why? Unless the whole problem now is lack of vaccination and political.
the power struggle continues... they just want to hold as long as they can so not to lose their grip of power on the submissive population. Let us get some facts right.. straight from the horses mouth... masks have always been intended for the infected to wear them so not to infect or pass on any possible germs not every single individual and ask any doctor this... they use them so not to allow droplets while carrying out surgery or examinations... take back power
Maybe if we don't want to wear these masks we could instead walk around the city with a cigarrete hanging out of our mouths - seemingly, this makes people exempt?
