I am going to continue to wear my mask myself and several other parents I have spoken to about this have all said the same thing we will continue to take socail distancing measures and wear our masks in public spaces I wore my mask through town on freedom day and I got a few funny looks from people not wearing masks but I held my head up and stayed safe I don't think covid is over and I will continue to protect my mother and all the other vulnerable people out there aswell as my family safe yes we all need to get back to normality but at what cost I think this is a very thoughtless move it Is still too soon to say we are all safe in my opinion I hope all of you stay safe and take care of yourselves...
