I really think it's a mistake and that we should have to wear masks for the foreseeable. I hate wearing them because my glasses always steam up but with cases on the rise again, it doesn't make sense to stop wearing them. Just my opinion |

"Masks may be dropped from needing to be worn.
If so. Are you dropping wearing yours?"
Really? We've just had an email saying the local secondary schools are now asking children to wear their masks all day long except when eating. This has just been put in in at least 3 local schools  |

I’m still going to keep wearing mine on public transport and in shops or other crowded areas. I think it’s a small price to pay when it’s not magically going to disappear overnight on the 18th |

I've read that's it's up to the individual.
I'll be wearing mine. We have cases at work, my year 12 and his whole cohort are working from home this week. I feel it's going the wrong way again |

They're a good way to protect others, especially so when so many otherwise healthy younger people may have no symptoms and be ignorant of being a risk.
There are tens of thousands of new infections daily - this will potentially be growing.
Wearing a mask is very little trouble for most people. I'll largely continue to wear mine as a double vaxxed person |

I am not going to wear mine as I think it will always be possible to find someone reason to hold off and we have to say enough is enough at some point.
I have been double jabbed and I think the vast majority of people will be soon. The vaccine works in _reducing_ substantial death and that is as good as it is going to get. The NHS will always be under some kind of pressure or other (the next obvious pressure point is the pent up demand for all the surgeries etc that have been postponed for the last year - what has happened to cancer and heart treatments for example?)
I respect the rights of people not to get jabbed or to wear masks all the time but we have to move on now.
The kids need to be able to socialise properly, people need to be able to find work and we have to learn to live with this. |

I'll probably continue to wear mine in certain situations.
Though to be honest I've doubted their effectiveness from day one . This is because a very high percentage of people I see don't wear them properly, wear them for too long or repeatedly wear the same one, continually use their fingers to adjust them round their mouth and nose or pull them down to speak. Since we were told at the start that we wear masks to protect other people I'm not confident that I'm being protected |

Probably yes, i will stop wearing one.
I will still carry one around within reach so in the car or bag,
I will access the situation as to where i am going, so for example i would still think of putting a mask on to enter a hospital or the local surgery, if i had a cold or cough i would consider wearing one so am not spluttering particles over everyone if i was in a shop.
Some circumstances even now though are ridiculous like having to put a mask on to enter a restaurant and then promptly removing it when sitting down.
Hopefully this will all make people think a little bit more about things rather than just blithely returning to how it was. |

Yes I agree it depends on the situation.
We have been on trains a lot recently and on a number of occasions been the only people in the carriage but its still a legal requirement to wear one. |

I will probably stop wearing one, I will have a box of disposable ones in the car just incase but I will follow the safety guidelines of keeping my distance and washing hands regularly. They are far more effective than masks in my view. |

I have always thought this too so I'll be not using mine. |

Don't think they'll do much good if vast majority stop wearing them.
As I understand it, the mask was to limit virus spreading outwards rather than as protection against inhaling virus.

Correct, they would offer some protection but a bit like wearing a book as a bullet proof shirt.
It may lessen the viral load that hits you but you will probably get hit.
But I see no harm like in the far East if people start to wear them as a curtesy when they have a cold. |

At the start of the pandemic the advice was to NOT wear masks as the constant readjusting and incorrect use would be detrimental but whatever
I don't wear one, nor will I. Everyone can do as the please
I will maintain social distancing though as I like my space |

I've had both my jabs and unlike a lot ( from what I've seen) on here I haven't met anyone since before fab; I've not even had a social with anyone yet although that's for other reasons.
I'm medically exempt from wearing masks yet I've still worn mine throughout the pandemic as I'm classed as clinically extremely high risk.
Wearing them makes me feel sweaty and unwell in hot shops but given how high risk I am and how easily it spreads I'm reconsidering my decision to stop wearing them when it's allowed.
I do think those planning on ditching them need to think about those who are most at risk.
Maybe if there weren't so many han-COCK types in government spme would take this pandemic more seriously!
They are awful to wear though, but I think in shops They re needed as it's impossible to social distance |

At work both voluntary and proper work I will continue to wear mine. If I use public transport then I will wear mine.. and probably while shopping or inside.
So yes. It's not like it hurts to wear it |

This.
Even in restaurants you're supposed to put on a mask to use a bathroom. Every single person in that situation is reusing their disposable masks multiple times, have them in their pockets, rubbing against tables, falling on the floor then going back over ones face.
What's the point in making up a rule that has absolutely no practical real life way of applying it properly for it to actually work?
The only people who actually suffer from it are those who are forced to work in it all day long.
People who scream the loudest about how they're protecting others are usually the ones who misuse their face covering every time they wear it. |

I don't and won't wear one. When I wear one for work (dust) I have no problem with it, but at least a n95, not just a piece of cloth....
Many people say "I'll wear one although I don't believe they actually do anything", many remarkable events have happened in history with just going along with a very entitled vocal few. So very very few are worn according to the guidance, it's like a bad joke, peer pressure and the open want to virtue signal 'I'm a nice person, we're all in this together' is what keeps the fear factor up there.
Last year with no vaccine and more isolation the death rate still did not go higher than in 2003. This last year has seen the biggest transfer of wealth in human history ( to the clown, I have no wealth envy, I'm doing well thankyou), the biggest pandemic is profit driven fear. Fear and bad news is a business model that keeps the rich rich and richer. Even if you are willing to send your child to school in a mask, at least tell them how to wear one by the guidance, instead 99% are wearing a single use mask for eight hours, but at least it shows the parents are such nice people. |

The best is a fat man having his fag , Just above his chin nappy and shouting at a woman with young children to put on a mask. What a nice person....... He's obviously been so concerned over the last year that he didn't start losing weight and stop smoking, eating his delivered takeaway with extra mayo. But and here's the big butt, he does wear a mask, although mostly nestling under one of his chins, claps for the nhs and shouts at women for not wearing a mask (feels that bigger men than himself, someone else will tell them) |

To my shame I am the sort of person that wears a mask, then folds it up into my back pocket, in and out multiple times a day. It does feel like it is worn for appearences sake only. It will be nice not to be required to wear it anymore, I may still in certain circumstances. |

Anti fog nose clip. Works surprisingly well for any cloth base mask that you can feed into it.
Only £5 from amazon.
Regarding the thread, yes, the masks should be to stay until it is a cultural norm when shopping etc. |

I don’t think anyone who wears a mask is the least bit concerned about their appearance in the grand scheme of things. So it’s a bit silly to say they look stupid and think that they’ll care for your derogatory opinion. |

I will probably have to wear one at work for most of the day (hospital). If it is required for entry to certain businesses then i will wear one. I don’t use public transport currently but if I needed to then I would wear one. Other than that if social distancing is possible I may not wear it. |

Masks are not necessary but testing is. You’re going to a club to meet strangers. Don’t you think testing before entry should be compulsory. My partner currently has covid after visiting a club on a social night. Only takes one kiss and he was infected. |

On the plus size we have never had any colds or flu in the last year and a half. Is any of this down to the wearing masks?
We will probably wear them in the short term as and when we believe it correct to do so and see how things go.

As I understand it, the mask was to limit virus spreading outwards rather than as protection against inhaling virus.
"
Yep, a point many seemed to miss.
It was to catch large aerosolised droplets from coughing or sneezing, which an immediate physical barrier in front of your face will be relatively effective at and more effective the higher its filtration/number of layers.
It would always be less effective on the inhalation side as pretty much anything widely available wouldn’t be airtight.
It was restriction at source, not at target. |

The benefits of wearing a mask not only protects the person wearing it but those around thus limiting further infection and the mask stops you breathing in the pollution, fumes, the particles that gives you a stuffy nose to headache and under the weather feeling if you have ever blown your nose after painting it's similar to this that builds up throughout the breathing apparatus which in turn helps to clog adding further health issues |

Sorry but that is complete rubbish. There are literally dozens of scenarios for someone dying right from a pauper with nothing and no assets through to a billionaire with a will and family.
And if there is no will it does not necessarily mean that the government get everything. In fact it is rarely the case as there tends to be a relative, however distant, to claim the estate.
If you take the average working person who pays income tax, plus taxes on everything else such as fuel as an example. They die and leave everything to their partner. There is no tax to pay and now you’re not paying any tax because you’re deceased.
Also it used to be said that the cost to the nhs to treat smokers was less than the tax they had raised by smoking.
So generally, but obviously not in every scenario, I would say that you’re wrong

"I'm going to continue wearing mine as the numbers are increasing and it was pointed out their main concern the delta virus but just like before oh well we had to see what happens and loads of people died and it'll be the same again the government doesn't care what happens because they actually gain more if anyone dies
What does the government have to gain from people dieing?
Fees, expenses, paying money out given circumstances plus if own anything it goes straight to the government if their is no will if the government pays your rent if it's capped list goes on
Sorry but that is complete rubbish. There are literally dozens of scenarios for someone dying right from a pauper with nothing and no assets through to a billionaire with a will and family.
And if there is no will it does not necessarily mean that the government get everything. In fact it is rarely the case as there tends to be a relative, however distant, to claim the estate.
If you take the average working person who pays income tax, plus taxes on everything else such as fuel as an example. They die and leave everything to their partner. There is no tax to pay and now you’re not paying any tax because you’re deceased.
Also it used to be said that the cost to the nhs to treat smokers was less than the tax they had raised by smoking.

Not mentioning the Government has spent around 299 billion to fight covid and protect the economy from April 2020 to April 2021. 
That ain't no sofa change, it will take generations to pay back. |

Yes, will continue to wear a mask in public. And even if there was no Covid, I would still continue to wear.
Why ?
Because I like the idea of politeness and concern for others welfare like they practice in many Asian countries with habitual mask-wearing.
It's just simply nicer not to have people cough and splutter all over you, nor do the same to them in return. We've had 15 months to get used to this and it's second nature now for many.
Haven't had a cold in over 15 months.
Haven't made any one else sick either.
Win-Win.

Plus balance the NHS it's free so regardless of the type of treatment needed they all carry a cost you only have to look at the reason for travel insurance should a person need medical assistant the cost all adds up and isn't cheap it's lucky because of the NHS if their was only a private sector more people would die because they couldn't afford |

Why do you think you have to be close to someone in your family to claim their estate?
Plus if you left something to charity it’s not taxable so how would the government benefit from it? |

No will a will only gives another an entitlement if theirs no will which is available for any person to setup it's gone.
I no it's not taxable I was making a point doesn't automatically mean another family member would get anything which is what you are claiming  |

Just a view not a 'WE MUST'.
Think in enclosed areas, shops, public transport, etc, it's a good idea to continue until this virus is really under better control in the world.
It's still to easy for it to spread & then there's still possibility of further mutations. As frustrating & annoying as mask wearing can be, would rather play safe for a little longer. |

I will not be wearing one when we don't have to, it will not stop someone passing the virus to me, and if I get it, well the odds aren't good for me, being clinically vulnerable, a good dose of flu could kill me anyway so if I get it I'm probably dead, so I won't be passing it on, but that's just the way it is. |

I’d love not to wear one. I appreciate it could be psychological with me, but after about an hour of wearing mine, it feels like it gets harder to breathe, like when you put your head in a pillow kind of feeling ?!?
Thankfully it’s enough time to do my weekly shop.
Each to their own, so won’t judge others if they want to wear theirs (plus there are some really funky ones I keep seeing) |

+1. I'm going to continue to wear mine. It's an annoyance for sure, but I think Covid-19 would be more so. |

"Masks can be scrapped from 19th July..I may wear mine in very crowded places, but that protects others, not myself."
See .. I’m confused..
It’s interesting that witty and valance both said that they would both still wearing masks in certain situation like crowded indoor spaces, but then why open up everywhere with no capacity restrictions
Like people are going to go to nightclubs and wear masks? That is the scientist moving away from the politicians….
I think all places should be allowed to open.. it’s the capacity thing that worries me! I can imagine that there are going to be loads of people who end up getting self isolation alerts
Also they are lifting the individual mandate to wear masks… does that mean that businesses can still demand you wear on on their premises… is so you are opening up a whole can of worms

Private entities like Manchester Tram, can impose whatever restrictions they like. However, it will be uo to them to police such restrictions. |

They are hoping we will be sensible and make a choice to wear them in certain situations..I would think that businesses can still demand we wear them..but probably won't enforce it.. |

"Weak government caved into the anti vaccine brigade.
Believing them speaking for the majority when in fact they have only represent themselves."
Are you sure that it wasn't some questionable generalised doomsday scenario modules that they have caved into?
Majority of the adult population are vaxed. Scaremongering worked! |

I agree, I dont stay in England but shall continue to wear a mask when on public transport or in shops etc.
Cases are predicted to rise to 50,000 a day in England and the PM still wants to drop the social distancing rules etc

Where I live in the US we dropped the mask mandate on June 22nd. For me it depends on where I'm going. Public buses still require it, so obviously I wear it then. Also if I go into a business where it's hard to social distance due to the size of the building. |

I've got three kids and have had only one cold in a year. This is unheard of - schools are germ factories after all. Stricter hygiene and masks must be a factor in this.
I'll keep it. It bothers me very little, isn't stopping me doing anything and I really really hate colds. |

In the same vein what about the under 18s, parents don’t have to isolate on returning, but the kids do ?
Until it’s announced none of us know the travel rules. |

The thing is if they kept the mask wearing for schools ,shops and transport you would then have the usual people in the media and on here saying why do you have to do this when people are packed in nightclubs, theatres,pubs etc it doesnt make sense and is taking away my freedom of choice.
There is always going to be some opposition whatever the decision is thats just the way of the world and with social media these days gets lots of coverage. |

You know, I think that also sounds really sensible to respond locally to the actual needs and requirements rather than a "one fits all" = "All masks binned" approach. |

Agree local approach rather than one fits all. We’ve had our first case of virus this year, the child is at home and every pupil and teacher is doing daily lft tests, if negative go to school. Such a more sensible approach than the 10 day stay at home |

I agree. Senior school child had to test every day now for 7 days, as his year group is rife with it. |
