There were news earlier that Israel Already lifted the Mask restriction because they have completed the vaccination of 100% of its population but isn't too early to lift the Mask Restriction?

Their country is smaller and most of it is military so most things they do is mandatory. I am sure Israel does not play with the trump supporters of not wearing a mask. If they not wearing it, means they think they safe. Israel does not play and while many may not agree with their methods, they on a island in a wolrd that hates them. I sometimes feel they can show a better way, but I also think sometimes people do not want to be shown a a better way.

@crossbones27 Yes we are a very small country but have a great and moral army. Our soldiers go to wars to defend not only our country but our citizens as well and they do it out of love. There are many here that wanted Trump to win again and I do not know what you are talking about about Trump supporters not wearing mask. I am a Trump supporter and I still wear a mask outside even though we do not have to and you do not know like I do not know why those that when we had to wear a mask did not. It has nothing I am sure to do with Trump. Where do you get your information about Israel? We have every right to defend our country against our enemies like other countries have the right to do.

It's actually not true that most of it is military. The army is present but most of Israel is just pretty normal.

Wow. I didn't think so. I remember a video from the Israeli woman where she said that they were being forced to take vaccines because the unvaccinated were not allowed to eat at restaurants

I think it is ok. Having completed the 100 percent means they are now safe of the virus. Remember, you can`t have the vaccine if you got the virus you have to wait until 6 months.

@myklj999 I just heard it from a nurse who works in the hospital nearby. I guess she understand it wrong. It means you can receive the vaccine after you got the virus?

@Butterfingers Actually since things are getting better here we were told we do not have to wear masks outside but still inside and still social distance because the virus is not gone yet.

@Butterfingers Yes, we are supposed to but not everyone does do it. I wear a mask still outside because I feel better doing it.

I think having the vaccine is not an assurance that one is covid free. Still safe to observe health protocols.

The problem is vaccines do not work 100 % and people that are fully vaccinated can still get the virus.

@Butterfingers If we think about it, had we been careful at the beginning, it would not have had such dire consequences.
An independent review calls the international response to the pandemic a "toxic cocktail".

For them to decide to go to that extent they must have assessed their situation.

I had no idea. If it's true, it's bad because vaccine doesn't guarantee you of not getting the virus. Thanks for sharing. Take care

It is true, the mask restriction has been lifted in open space. Indoors it is still required. But the vaccination hasn't been 100% completed. The percentage is indeed high but not 100%. It might be too early but so far it's working pretty good.
