There was no masking the joy of the people of Mallorca this morning as the Balearic government scrapped the need for the mask in outside areas. You still have to wear it though in interiors (shops, restaurants, offices and bars).

Although I do not agree with Fred as such, I do like the polite way of mask using in Asian countries. There you wear a mask if you have a cold or flu, to not infect other people. If I see some disgusting people here, coughing ans sneezing in public and then checking their grotty hankies to check the colour of their snot...... It is a respect thing and I can see that making sense to wear a mask when u have a cold or flu. But just walking around with a mask for the sake of it like now....hell no.
@Paul, or they will wait for the original article to be on the verge of disappearing, hoping nobody will read it.
I don't see how much has changed, really. I rarely wore a mask outdoors, wasn't arrested or fined, nor did anyone ever mention it. I doubt Mallorca has even noticed. Come to think of it, in every restaurant I've been to in the past few months, nobody's asked for a "covid passport". I've always had it ready though. Oh, wait... Once. Yes, one restaurant asked. Showed it, and went in. Horrible inconvenience that. Good job such nasty stuff has been scrapped. I don't know how anyone could live under that kind of police state.
Fred - I have seen your comments on here always asking for scientific evidence. But it is clear now that you only follow "your theory". Which, I do want to make clear I totally respect that you want to continue to wear one. In fact, I welcome anyone who wants to wear one should if it makes them feel safe (and of course, everyone has different health problems that we don't know about...similar to why freedom of choice of the other big topic is important). Just want to point out that you have set a precedence to your scientific backings and hateful comments to others on here in the past. @paul - same here....been that way for weeks now... And finally - this is victory for all!
That sounds like a Monty Python sketch, Fred.
My Theory is that a Mask prevents the spread of any desease from leaving your mouth. BUT also prevents any desease from entering your mouth. I will continue to wear a Mask.
Really, no comments??? I have yet to see one of mine posted on quite a few articles this week. Clearly you only publish the ones you agree with!
