New Mask Exemption Regime

...
Sorry if I sound harsh, but I'm just over all this and want everything to get back to normality.

You don't sound harsh, you sound massively ignorant and out of touch.  The old normality has gone forever, everything is changing and we all need to adapt our behaviour for the common good.

Well I personally dont see masks being the new normal for the rest of our lives. I woudnt be surprised if mask mandates are dropped here soon.
I have a friend in the USA and says no one wears them at all in their area in new mexico. I believe Australia has already dropped mask mandates too.

Anyway, it looks like case numbers are levelling off at long last, will be very interesting if I catch another covid strain this year or not, but at least after catching omicron  I no longer have any anxiety over this virus anymore.
