I didn't expect to miss the smiles of people so much
Since yesterday, the government of Switzerland officially abolished almost all Covid measures. Even though there are still a lot of cases, it's so liberating for all of us... I sincerely didn't expect to miss to see the smiles of people so much until I realized today how nice it was :-)
How great to go shopping without wearing a mask
Today for the first time in months, I could go shopping without wearing a mask and I could go into a restaurant without showing my certificate. Each time you went to pay you had to carry your tray, show your phone, show your ID and pay at the same time. I don't count how often one of the listed items landed on the floor... There are still people who chose to wear masks but it's optional and I definitely enjoyed to see the full faces of people again today...
I feel quite comfortable to be without mask because the pandemic hit my household quite strongly for the last two weeks. First my son got it, then my daughter and finally my wife. I was in the middle of all of it and didn't get it, so I conclude that my immune system is ready...
Some air for my offline business
I run an offline business in the leisure sector and we were severely hit by all the imposed measures during the last two years. It was a constant fight and we had to adapt our sanitary concept every two month. I don't know how often I had to put new billboards, change the website, change the confirmation mails and inform my employees with the newest measures that were imposed by the officials.
For several months, we could accept only people who were vaccinated and could show the health pass. It was a nightmare to control everybody's certificate and make sure that all the measures were respected. Yesterday, we could put our infrastructure back in place and take all the signs and billboards down. Immediately, we had some customers that couldn't come to visit us for months coming back and playing without certificates and without masks... What a pleasure. Hopefully it will last...

It's good to see improvements in your side of the world. For us here nosemask was fashion, and a part from the banks and court there is no one else wearing nosemask again. Although at first it hit my town but no one died from it and it seems that life was too hard here so what Covid 19 as to offer was just fever and after a while we got back to normal.
I hope other places get opened quickly too. It will be a reveal to travel once again without fear of dying
In a way the measures are a bit over the top in most countries and it has been a drain on our mental well beeing. Seeing people smile and enjoy their lives, is so great :-)
I to miss seeing people and their smiles. Glad things are going well for you.
It's really nice and it makes such a difference. Hope it will come for you as well :-)
I don't know what the USA will do. Some people are not wearing masks nor are they getting shots. So to protect myself I continue to wear the masks and get the vaccinations.

I hope it's coming for us in Canada soon...
That being said lol Not looking good for us here.
Thanks for using ListNerds to spread the post and promote it :)
I have been praying for Canadians as well as my own country. That spoiled brat boy child PM of yours needs a good whipping. Might knock some sense into him, as my Granny would say. He needs to realize he is not the smartest man (boy) in the room.
How do you really feel? LOL
My Granny was one to speak her mind, so I learned from her. She was a legend in our neighborhood and people would come to her when they needed to hear the truth instead of what they wanted to hear. She was kind AND firmly committed to telling the truth.
We had so many cases that now 90% of the population either was vaccinated or had covid. So it doesn't make much sense to keep the measures up and it feels pretty great to go back to some kind of normality :-)
Great to hear that things are getting better in Switzerland... I hope it will stay like that in the future and that you can focus on your life and family!
Have an awesome weekend!
Man I hope that all this is behind us and that we won't have to restart these exercices anytime soon :-)
That is great news. It must feel wonderful to be able to be "ordinary" again! (Well, you are more than ordinary, but you know what I mean! - the ordinary things are now precious and appreciated.)
Here in Japan lots of people wore masks before the pandemic (including female students who didn't have time to put on make up!)... but I fear the effect of this pandemic will be to cause even more to continue wearing masks after all emergency measures have been lifted.
After two days of lifted measures, 90% of the people don't wear masks anymore and people are smiling and happy. I haven't seen this for such a long time. It feels good :-)
Yay. I am happy for you, No more muzzles. I love seeing the smiles too.
It makes such a difference to see happy faces again :-)
Wow! Congratulations! Here in Ontario we're hearing the first rumblings of a return to normal; I think the protests have made at least some of the governing bodies reconsider all the restrictions. This past Sunday I actually forgot to put on my mask in the grocery store for about 15 minutes before I realized, but no one said anything. But I have a decent beard so I think they thought I was a trucker, lol!
We are all truckers now. Just like once we were all Berliners. Tyrants only win temporary victories, because liberty comes from God, not government--and God IS permanent.
Haha, that happened to me too but a shop assistant was very quick to inform me that I had to put the mask on. Hope they will lift the measures soon for you.
I find your post thru the listnerd emails. Keep on the good work

I didn't expect people would find SO difficult to use a simple piece of cloth on their face and take a vaccine shot.
People really can surprise us!

It's nice to see smily faces again. I have the feeling we kind of forgot how to do it :-)
Nice to know that things are getting better in some parts of the world! Still seeing a lot of cases (though I think most are mild) in Asia.
We had a lot of cases recently and almost the whole population was either vaccinated or infected. Hope it will stay like that.
That is great news. It's still a bit crazy around me and there are family members who refuse to be in a place where there are people without masks. So I wonder if things will ever be the same again.

The measures, the masks, the vaccination have become poisonous ground for discussions and beliefs and it has split a lot of families and friends. It feels like a big relieve not to have to wear masks.
It is great to hear that the government has taken a bold decision and people are feeling more comfortable.
Hope that it doesn't backfire.
Enjoy the mask free time.

The leisure sector was hit seriously by all the restrictions. Great to hear your offline business finally gets some old customers back. Hope it lasts this time! Saw your email on Listnerds too.
Yes a lot of my competitors didn't survive the pandemic and I just managed because I had some money aside. I hope it's here to stay :-)
I wish they'd do the same here, I'm tired of it honestly.
Not doing anything but bringing the kid to kindergarten and grocery shopping as I just don't like doing anything with the mask on.
I'd love to see all the smiling faces again when you greet someone.
Came through Listnerds :)
The measures kind of prevented us from doing things and from enjoying life. It's like happyness has a place again in our lives :-)
Yes, so true! I hope soon these restrictions will be lifted where I live as well. But I guess seeing other countries remove them, it won't take too long anymore.

Those scientifically useless masks caused unbelievable misery for those of us with hearing loss, trauma, and/or autism spectrum issues. No lipreading means poor communication. People who have experienced an armed robbery or an assault have to look at masked people everywhere and relive that awful feeling of being smothered by something over their nose and mouth. Autistic people are barred from everywhere because they cannot deal with that ridiculous fascist face flag on their face. The covid tyrants will be judged by history and by God Himself.
For people with hearing problems it was simply horrible to try to communicate. I'm happy we can be without these masks and see each others faces again.
Congrats on being free again buddy, lol.
Thanks a lot. It feels great :-)
It has been a challenge getting used to people wearing masks but I believe it was a necessity. I still wear a mask even though I don't have to. Thanks for the post.
Since my family got through covid a couple of weeks ago, I believe I have all the antibodys that I need :-)
