[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1069180, member: 74121"] I think opening Omicron to the community and spreading the virus has to be done in a fair way. The immuno-suppressed and vulnerable have the right to access essential shops (supermarkets and chemists), public services and public transport in a safe way. Continued usage and enforcement of face coverings in those settings would be something I'd propose for 2022 and potentially beyond. Folk have been so glued to 24hr news that there will be a lot of anxiety around the elderly in particular that I think we need stepping stone measures to help give them reassurance to re-engage with society and the economy. From spring I'd let it spread unbridled in all leisure settings (indoor and outdoor) and schools (with the latter being ventilated) even if that means folk like me might have to think twice about pursuits they enjoy like live music indoors. Omicron is so transmissible that the above should be sufficient to enable a fairly safe attempt at 'herd immunity' prior to winter 2022. I'm a massive fan of Covid passports but think they will be redundant as a tool in the northern hemisphere by April. If the above went well then I'd look at removing all requirement for face coverings in 2023 and making it a personal choice, as has been typical among young and old pre-Covid in places like Japan and Korea. Even if wearing a mask doesn't particularly help the individual wearing it, it does provide a visual cue to the reasonable that this individual would like their personal space respected where possible.
