goodbye mask mandate

I hope you all, in Israel, are enjoying the first day post-mask-mandate but with a nice sandstorm.... Good timing on that.

Just kidding. We still don't control the weather, despite what some people think.

But seriously, it is about time the mask mandate was done away with. Hardly anyone was wearing the mask anyway and there was not much enforcement. 


The healthcare bigwigs are cautiously optimistic about this. Professor Mevurach of Hadassah Ein Kerem called this is a historic moment. Professor Gruto said he isnt sure we have completely done away with masks and if the numbers spike upwards again we might have to go back to them. Professor Zarka said we have not finished with the CoronaVirus but this is a happy respite - I wouldnt throw my mask away, but I would keep it in my pocket in case I go to a crowded place..

Just to comment on Professor Gruto's words - if it spikes upwards it would be hard to believe the cause would be identified as the removal of the masks, considering hardly anyone was wearing them anyway, but we still might have to go back to them in some official capacity because that is the only tool they have for the public, whether it works or not.

One day in the future we are going to look back at these past two years as a really strange and surreal blip in our history...
