Mask requirement should be back in the closed areas, otherwise a third lack down might be in the near future. Second booster vaccination should also be implemented for over 60.

I travelled extensively throughout Portugal during the 3 year pandemic, when allowed. Portuguese are the most compliant people that I have ever seen. They 're vaccinated, boosted, wore masks ALL the time, locked down when told to...yet these are the results. Doesn't add up. Nothing about this pandemic adds up.

It all adds up if you follow the regimen. The indoor mask mandate should NEVER had been dropped. 100,000 new infections a day in US and thousands in Portugal; who said the epidemic was over? People were tired of masks that has been scientifically proven and elections were about to happen. Proven science that the boosters are only 72% effective down from 97% after 4 months (i.e. Israel.) Portugal is way behind I'm sorry to say on boosters. I got my second booster on March 28th and flew on 2 planes to Porto on April 28th and witnessed Arribida and Nom Successo (tighter quarters) with only about 12% of people wearing masks. IF you are double vexed, double boosted and wear a K-95 or NK-95 mask with 2 layers and in the middle sprayed with a sanitizer (can't wash em) and preferably wear glasses as the tiny droplets hang in the air, YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE, no worries.
The light blue 1 layer cloth masks DO NOT PROTECT YOU. Spray an aerosol can in front of you and take a breath (test.) The required indoor mask with glasses are YOUR PROTECTION AFTER 2nd booster and look for another booster in 4-5 months but still safe with K & KN-95 masks (online.) No country can afford the lockdown again; INVEST in your mask and glasses and please STAY SAFE & BE HAPPY until the next booster and you can walk or sit next to or across from anyone except when the mask is off to eat or drink; use common sense.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.
Nice to see at least some commenters, such as Irene, are wide awake.
Also astounding how the entire content of Africa, isn't depleted yet, while the most vaxed countries on earth, have the most covid.

Just stop all the stupid testing and it will all be fine. The only reason people are so worried in the first place is because they have been brainwashed by all this hype and rubbish.

Is it surprising with all restriction lifted and the country full of tourists not at all. !!!!!!!!!

I'm double boosted ( 4 shots ) I wear 2 masks, a hat, latex gloves, plastic bags over my shoes, 2 condoms, plastic face shield, and I wear a Haz Mat suit. I'm now ready to take on the world.
