Isn't it masks are NOT mandatory anymore on both indoors and outdoors? I noticed though na 95% of Filipinos still wear masks (which is a good thing)

I think it's non sense na to wear a mask right after eating if dining indoors e whatever is in the air e nahinga na yun while eating hehehe

Well may onting sense naman in that putting your mask back on reduces the amount of viral load you might inhale.

Here's my bad analogy:

Suppose may umutot sa room. Do you cover your nose and get out after getting a whiff? Or do you keep breathing in that stank kasi "nahinga" mo na naman?

And of course my analogy is bad kasi you already took on a load of virus while eating, but there's probably still a difference between 500 lungfuls of virus-laden air (assuming 12-16 breaths a minute and 30 minutes to eat), or 2000 (assuming you stay unmasked in a cafe or restaurant for 2 hours).

You're right but I think it's better to dine al fresco (and seated far from other diners) than indoors and put on a mask after eating. Unfortunately, most of my friends prefer indoors

I smelled and felt cold Christmas air for the first time today! I hope it lasts til January and it's more comfortable to dine al fresco

But it's nice na Filipinos are still wearing masks even if not mandated na

the post-holidays figures will probably be a good idea of the status of covid as an infectious disease, in the planet.

It's our first time to have family Christmas lunch since the pandemic. Our last was 2019.

Parang weird kasi to wear mask sa beach. I mean the whole body is showing na tapos the face is covered [emoji23]

Oz this time. Nobody is wearing mask here. Trains are bursting at the seams and people are squeezed like sardines. When I asked my sister who is a nurse, she said covid is in the test kit, so don't test. Oh well, good thing me and my wife got infected last month, so I'm hoping the shots, booster and the natural immunity will keep us safe.

sa province na mga puntahan ko, wala na talaga nag mmask. Dito lang sa metro manila mga naka mask talaga.

[misseksaherada]

Di na ako nagma-mask, kahit sa mall.. Nagpa-massage ako di na din ako naka-mask (na iniisip ko napaka unsanitary ng mga ginagamit dun [emoji28])..
Nagpunta sa mga year-end parties di na naka-mask, sa office din kapag pumapasok ako.. Hindi naman ako nagkakasakit, baka siguro madami pa din naka-mask kaya hindi ako nahahawa..
Hindi din ako yung tipo na lagi may alcohol at sanitizer (nababahing kasi ako) lagi lang talaga hugas ng kamay gamit sabon at tubig. Toothbrush at throat spray, yan ang di ako mapalagay kapag lumabas ako na di ko magawa.. Feeling ko kapag di ko malinisan yung dila ko at hindi ako makapag-throat spray dun ako magkakasakit.. [emoji28] Last resort ko, kapag madumi CR at di ako kumportable mag-toothbrush, Ricola Mountain Mint na lozenges na lang..

Not in tsayna and this could prejudice whatever gains or improvements the rest of the world already achieved in the past years.

Baka back to square 1 tayong lahat dahil dyan.

Revenge travel from the world's biggest source of tourist...

While in the midst of their largest COVID surge...

Data from travel platform Ctrip showed that within half an hour of the news, searches for popular cross-border destinations on had increased 10-fold. Macau, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand, South Korea were the most sought-after, Ctrip said.

Data from another platform, Qunar, showed that within 15 minutes of the news, searches for international flights jumped seven-fold, with Thailand, Japan and South Korea at the top of the list.

China's management of COVID will also be downgraded to the less strict Category B from the current top-level Category A from Jan. 8, the health authority said, as it has become less virulent.

The change means authorities will no longer be compelled to quarantine patients and their close contacts and lock down regions.
