Masks Yes or No After Restrictions Lifted

[life on mars]

Big debate at the moment think , I will adopt the behaviour of wearing one as a politeness if I've got a cold /cough and wear one for the rest of this year on public transport and in supermarkets.

I do think now its should be a personal choice except when visiting Hospital's / Clinic's , GP's where I think its should be mandatory for ever .

Let common sense and where a person is dictate it. Those without common sense weren't abiding by the rules anyway, though thankfully they seemed few and far between.

IMHO masks should remain compulsory in enclosed spaces, especially where there is limited social distancing.
Nothing has changed in terms of the number of people who may have CV19 and be a-symptomatic, nor that you can have it without symptoms for up to two weeks.

It really doesn't bother me having to wear a mask, it's very little effort if it helps.

It really bugs me though people who wear a mask incorrectly, it's not difficult.

I enjoyed wearing a mask in the winter, not so keen now it's warm but I'll continue. It's the tiniest of inconveniences and it shows everyone else you're considering their health and wellbeing

I've not worn a mask outdoors for ages, but will continue to do so in shops, on public transport etc.

My point exactly. you know when it is a good thing and when it is unnecessary. It's common sense.

Definitely will when travelling on the London underground to work etc - lot to be said for wearing a mask on there even pre-covid.

Spot on , I find mask wearing essential and almost reassuring in that area and other high density cities which have crowded environments such as buses , tubes and not forgetting Airports and travel .

Re: Masks Yes or No After Restrictions Lifted

I’ll be wearing my mask in the same way as before. I think the easing of restrictions in general is driven by political pressure from those that stand to gain from it, such as the travel industry.

Personally, I think that we’re heading for more restrictions in the autumn. The UK Government just don’t seem to be learning from last year. It’s “let the shackles off for the summer and damn the torpedoes”.

Not so sure I agree, there does come a point we do need to find out what exactly happens when the shackles are let off. Whilst cases are high, I'd be shocked if in the future the statistic of preference for the media/government isn't the number hospitalisations which of course is the biggest issue, which according to the Chief of the NHS on sky news this morning are around 10x fewer than what hospitalisations were when there was comparable number of cases in the previous two peaks.

Think the vaccination programme which has been a massive success has effectively removed the governments need to draw on what they have failed on previously. Presumably when every adult who wants their second jab has had them, and then booster jabs come in play, future peaks in cases will be smaller.

Re: Masks Yes or No After Restrictions Lifted

I haven't worn a mask for about a month now. I would if I was on public transport. And I probably will wear one next winter.

Re: Masks Yes or No After Restrictions Lifted

Yes in shops, all indoor locations and especially public transport. With increasing COVID numbers wearing masks as now should be compulsory for, not only your own sake, but for those with whom you come into contact.

Shouldn't you be self-isolating at home if you've got a cough?
