Masks staying on

There are suggestions that masks could be staying on indoors, which seems to reflect what most people think is right, in the current circumstances

I hope so. The thought of no one wearing masks puts me off going anywhere especially with a newborn. I know my NHS trust are continuing mask wearing for all staff and are encouraging for patients and visitors

It's a small price to pay for the safety and well-being of others! Staff in venues are often younger and less likely to have had 2 vaccine doses, so at risk. They will then be able to pass it on to more vulnerable people.

The vaccine minister stated this, this morning. Not definite until tomorrow's announcement.

totally agree. I’m crowded spaces. On transport and places where it’s obvious it’s safer we should carry on wearing them

Yes I agree.

Already on Friday 2 young ladies took their masks off upstairs on the bus, declaring they had had both vaccines.

They were not bothered about anyone else.

I don't agree with this.

Just because somebody doesn't feel the need to wear a face covering a specially when the government is saying its no longer a legal requirement doesn't mean they dont care about others.

Lots of European countries have now taken away the legal requirement to wear a face covering and their cases haven't gone up.

I think ot is very divisive and always has been to say anyone that can't or wont wear a face covering somehow doesn't care for others because that is not true.

"Wales are keeping the requirement for face coverings on public transport, health, social care settings, I hope we at minimum keep that"

Its pointless to be honest.

Until the last 2 weeks face covering compliance was very high on public transport here. But I'm now seeing fewer and fewer people wearing them.

This is a great example of how effective the MSM scare campaign has been.

If you're scared to go out in public because people won't be wearing their inneffective masks then I feel sorry for you.

Covid and the fear factory are taking our freedom and it seems like many people are happy for that to happen.

To be honest most of the country have moved on from coronavirus wearing masks when required and that's about it, with weekly death rates at below the 5year average and only limited numbers now in hospital and dieing of corona most people including my self are going out seeing freinds and family and social distancing and mask wearing is now more a formality than some thing people are actually sticking to. Only anougher week or so and hopefully Boris announces the end of all this mess and the country can get on with life back to normal and learn to live with a certain amount of deaths each week because that's the reality of the future.

I agree, I am seeing people trying to turn mask wearing into the next divisive Brexit type issue which is sad. People are not genuinely that scared at all, lots of political grifters, given the current figures it's laughable how effective the scare tactics have been.

I will continue not to bother. Plus clth masks are completely usually outside of stopping spit transfer. Any fine dust or other breathable things. Cloth is usually. Take it from someone who has to drill into some surfaces.

"Hearing a minister this morning saying the opposite of what was being said last week, then it could be the same advice as the Welsh minister coming very soon"

Standard consistency from them

If wearing a mask stops 1 person dying from it it's worth it and it was massively reckless to say last week.

Well its upto you.

The thing that amuses me about the mask discussions ,that have been ongoing since the introduction of the advice.

People say a face covering is a waste of time and doesn’t do anything.

When you were a kid, and you coughed, what did your parents always say?

Put your hand over your mouth when you cough. It helps to stop the spread of germs.

When you sneeze?

Use a hanky.

But apparently this was all completely useless information.

That's not even remotely related.

Did your parents also teach you to wear a mask everyday because mine certainly didn't.

Maybe great grandpa in the war could tell us a few actually good reasons to wear a mask.

Boris did say in the announcement that all the plans would be confirmed around the 12th, nothing was set in stone and it was all subject to change depending on the latest data.

It was quite clear to me that there was alot of uncertainty about masks, a large portion of the population and government don't agree with no longer having a legal requirement to wear masks.

It is relevant, we have been taught since we were young that covering your nose and mouth when you're likely to be coughing/sneezing out particles is a sensible approach, most people when they cough and sneeze usually aren't coughing out a potentially deadly virus, that's a risk now, so masks are sensible.

No one is stopping anybody from wearing a mask so if you feel more comfortable doing so the go for it. Lots of people in China continued to wear masks after the SARS outbreak years ago.

The anti mask brigade have constantly told people that a face covering does nothing.

Of course it does.

Anything that prevents a projection from the mouth will help to reduce the spread of any germ.

Just the same as not shouting and spitting will.

As for things not being remotely relevant, you bring up ‘ grandpa’ and ‘ the war’

I think the messaging is the problem, if they had not made any decision yet then maybe they shouldn't tell everyone what will happen on the 19th. Him and the HS were insistent that it was going to be lifted and half the country have been objecting to that in the last week. They normally see how news is taken before deciding what to do.

Yeah, they announce that there is going to be an announcement on a given date, then in the days leading up they tell you what’s going to be in the announcement.

Then having seen an adverse reaction to it, they announce something different on the day.

People can continue to wear a face covering, no one is saying they can't but they have to accept it will no longer be a legal requirement and I guarantee in the coming weeks more people won't be wearing then will be.

I'm very passionate about people not being bullied into wearing one I cant always so why don't because it causes least severe distress however when I can I will.

Lots of people struggle to wear a covering so I just dont think its helpful when it is suggested anybody who doesn't ware one somehow doesn't care about other people as thats not true in most cases.

I do agree, each to their own.

But the issue is that you don’t wear a mask to benefit yourself , it’s more for others benefit and then by a majority doing it, it helps the majority.

If it simply benefited the wearer then I would totally agree with you.

But that's the point most of us are now double jabbed and I know i test regularly so my thinking is I'm no risk from others and they are lower risk for me and I guess that's where a lot of people are now coming from.

Supposedly it was one of those trials ( if that is true ) the trials were to act like you would normally in a nightclub/ football match/ horse meeting etc

"Personally I think the ventilation, wash your hands and stay at home if you are unwell message needs to be key.

With respect, you are saying that because you don't wear a mask. Most of us think a mask is helpful

I do wear one and iv never said I don't.

I wear one when I feel I can and when I cant I dont.

Then I apologise, I thought you said you don't wear one. It must have been when you were describing when you don't wear one.

Maybe the people you see now not wearing one are doing the same as you

I'm very passionate about people not being bullied into wearing one I cant always so why don't because it causes least severe distress however when I can I will.

Lots of people struggle to wear a covering so I just dont think its helpful when it is suggested anybody who doesn't ware one somehow doesn't care about other people as thats not true in most cases.

I have stuck to every other rule and regulation this is just one I struggle with massively.

I wasn't bullying you. I didn't say you had to wear one. I didn't say anyone had to wear one.

I was saying I think your idea was biased as you don't wear one (for whatever reason)"

Sorry that got lost in communication I did not direct that at anybody in particular and certainly haven't felt bullied on this thread.

As has been said in the thread that anyone that that doesn't work the facemask doesn't care about anyone but themselves and I dont see that its true.

Why would a poll be rigged that goes against the initial suggestions from the government and by whom?

Surely any such conspiracy would be to rig the poll to mirror the suggestion..

I’ll continue to wear a mask when I can if it becomes optional. I started wearing one before I became compulsory because it makes sense to try keep my breathe contained, like covering my mouth when I cough. Sometimes it gets hot and claustrophobic if I’ve got it on for a long time so I need a minute with it down/off. It’s the best I can do, I have it covering my face 99% of the time I’m supposed to. I’m double jabbed.

I think if everyone did their best to consider others we’d be ok or better off at least.

I currently have Covid, likely caught from my non vaccinated, won’t wear a face mask, doesn’t socially distance friend last weekend. You’ve just got to do the best you can to protect yourself and others, sometimes I can do better and I became complacent after my second jab. Catching it has been a rude awakening and made me realise I still need to treat it seriously.

Even after nearly 18 months, the amount of clowns that still think the wearing of masks is just for your own protection is quite astonishing.

How often do we read "i am young and healthy " so don't need to wear one. How selfish of you.

Wearing of a mask is to help protect others more vulnerable than your selfish selves

That is untrue that the messaging from the beginning has had been confusing.

We were told initially not to wear face coverings as they provided little protection.

We are now being told infections are rising and hospital rates are rising albeit at a slower rate than previously But actually we can probably ditch the face coverings and social distancing in most settings in 8 days. I can't get married and have dancing and singing but UAFA can have 2500 officials at match without having to test or isolate. I disagree that the messaging is not confused.

I'm talking about the message last Monday about the masks, that it would be confirmed this week and that last week he was laying out what he thought might happen.

Regarding masks at the beginning, at that point they didn't have conclusive data, then they found out that masks do help, so they changed the guidance.

I have no idea what they are thinking with the untested officials etc, it's a stupid idea and I totally disagree with it.

If they want the messaging to be less forceful so that some people don't think they are going to have "freedom day" then maybe they should change the messaging

He outlined his plan in a contradictory way to scientists and epidemiologists though. There is strength of feeling around this subject and he would have been better placed to say they would review the science rather than lead people to believe there wouldn’t be a need for masks. If it isn’t law then people don’t have to do it. We know there will be large numbers that won’t wear a mask and that leaves a lot of people in a vulnerable position. They should be clear when they have decided.

Maybe because I didn't find the message confusing I'm in the minority, not really sure tbh, but I understood what was said and that last weeks announcement wasn't a sure thing.

I didn’t find his message confusing but I did think it was in conflict from those around him. I would prefer him to say that it will be reviewed and leave it at that. It has just encouraged people to stop wearing their masks.

"Hearing a minister this morning saying the opposite of what was being said last week, then it could be the same advice as the Welsh minister coming very soon

Standard consistency from them

If wearing a mask stops 1 person dying from it it's worth it and it was massively reckless to say last week.

Well its upto you."

By your logic everyone should have to wear a mask forever.

Because it may save one life of flu or similar.

Is this really your position?

Being someone who has travelled on public transport preCovid and had people coughing and sneezing so badly sat behind me I've felt their actual spit/snot hit the back of my neck (on more than one occasion) I'm more than happy for masks on transport to continue.

I'll be wearing mine.

The thing is with someone in your position Lorna, you may have times when you feel you can’t wear your mask but you wouldn’t invade someone’s space, you would appreciate that the person opposite may not be comfortable dealing with someone who isn’t wearing a mask, they may be vulnerable, they may be nervous and I think you would consider that.

Not everyone is considerate. They practically brag about not wearing a mask, they laugh at people for wearing one and they just love getting up close.

"This is a great example of how effective the MSM scare campaign has been.

If you're scared to go out in public because people won't be wearing their inneffective masks then I feel sorry for you.

Covid and the fear factory are taking our freedom and it seems like many people are happy for that to happen."

Your scare stories are worse. Scientific evidence, which coincidentally is not published in the mainstream media but in reputable scientific journals, details the value of mask wearing, limiting the growth in infections. Presumably you want to reduce the number of people infected and are taking appropriate steps to help society. The loss of 'freedom' by wearing a tiny mask, is nothing to the cost of loss of healthy life.

It was mentioned in another thread that got too big, what does virtue signalling mean by wearing a mask. It means if you truly believe that the average mask that 99% of people wear, you wear it exactly how the guidance tells you to, change it every half an hour or hour, don't touch it, if you do change it, apply a new one, sanitise your hands. If you don't, you are virtue signalling. I appreciate woman and young people do to avoid be lambasted by some 'nice' people, however these ' nice' people most certainly choose who they confront, some would call it cowardly virtue signalling. If you wear an inappropriate face covering, single ply etc, then you are virtue signalling again.

If people want to wear one, it's none of my business , do so, however , don't expect me to do so. Do your business expecting that most will choose not to, alter your behavior and don't expect others to do so, personal responsibility!

If the advice was to stop wearing a mask, would you do so? If your answer is no, then it would suggest that you have other issues.... The most virment Fab virologists are the ones who say follow the science, don't be selfish, but wouldn't get rid of the mask ( might pull it down to have their ciggy though)

I’ve work a large variety of masks/respirators/powered-respirators and air-supplied face-coverings in my 40+ years of work.

They work.

Your innate immune system can handle very small viral loads. Large ones, not so much.

Sadly incorrect. The positive help that you can make towards getting life and our freedoms back to a healthy level, includes wearing a mask. Buy the most effective mask that you can and wear it correctly - then perhaps you'd get respect for thinking of the greater good, for a real change.

You see this is the very problem with society of which you are a part of. The narrative is, it's selfish to not wear a mask because it's inconsiderate of other people. What people don't realise is that if you can't wear one, it's actually ok, even though it goes against the narrative. As you know, not everyone can wear a mask but people are quick the be judgemental. The message here is don't be judgemental because everyone's circumstances are different & you must respect that. You're only saying I sound proud because you think I'm choosing not to wear one....not because I cant. What if someone couldn't wear a mask because of a disability and you said you sound proud ?. I think there's a lesson to be learned here.

What exact part of what I said was wrong?

I don't and never have coughed in anyone's face, that's called manners. In fact I've never sneezed in anyone's face, again polite manners. Self responsibility.

I doubt when you were young with a cold, you went around with your face covered! Again we get to the straw man argument of being very recently advised to put on a mask 'because it makes sense',when a year ago and all the time before the research showed no evidence based conclusion that they are beneficial.

Being respectful is not coughing and sneezing in someone's face, I don't do it and neither does most of society as a whole. You don't hold the title of being respectful for putting on a used mask from your preworn trouser pocket.

Your responsibility is if you feel uncomfortable with my maskless face, then you show self responsibility and get out of my way, don't leave it up to me, you'll be disappointed.

Wearing a mask reduces the spread of germs should you be contagious. I don’t want to make someone else ill. Wearing a mask in Sainsbury’s, on a train or on a bus seems a small price to pay for someone elses health, or even life.

"The thing that amuses me about the mask discussions ,that have been ongoing since the introduction of the advice.

People say a face covering is a waste of time and doesn’t do anything.

When you were a kid, and you coughed, what did your parents always say?

Put your hand over your mouth when you cough. It helps to stop the spread of germs.

When you sneeze?

Use a hanky.

But apparently this was all completely useless information.

That's not even remotely related.

Did your parents also teach you to wear a mask everyday because mine certainly didn't.

Maybe great grandpa in the war could tell us a few actually good reasons to wear a mask.

So... you spend all your waking hours non-stop sneezing?

You also need a mask when driving alone in your own car?

Or walking down an empty street?

You probably should also sleep with your mask on, just in case?

Actually that isn't true the government predicted that about 36% of the population is except form wearing a face covering.

Compassion is important of course. Autistic and physical inability to remove a mask are good reasons not to.

Though there are people who put out their fag and buy an exemption lanyard saying they have 'asthma'if challenged.. Which seems a bit daft to me as far as valid reasons go

Also I believe some people who have issues using surgical mask would probably be okay with a face shield instead? . Though Im not qualified or know if that is true.. If it was it would reduce the number of exemptions considerably I should think?

Medically right? Don't think so. Being selfish, ahhh yes, that old trotted out line, "I'm doing for you, not me" , a well used line from the sjws. Being selfish is telling people that masks are an effective tool in are armoury against the fight against covid and if you just wear one you're doing your bit in the fight! (a massive sense of pride)That's not not being selfish, that's being patronising, giving vulnerable people a false sense of agency. You'd be better telling people to give up those ciggies, lose weight, exercise and get some sun. But there again...... that's well, hard work...... easier to just pop a mask on!.... there you go, all better now, you feel safe and stay safe.

24million people are exempt? Have a look at the www.gov.uk website and it will outline the rules. Nowhere does it say 24m people can avoid it. I have no problem with people abiding by the rules. I also have a reaonable idea about what I am talking about.

I don't think the issue is with people who are genuinely exempt, unfortunately there are MANY people, they have even said it on these forums, that say they are exempt when they aren't, just because they don't want to wear a mask, it does make it awkward for genuine people but this is the world we live in now, people would rather put someone else into a horrible situation than have to put other people before themselves. Those are the selfish people.

You can see this becoming a kink in clubs in future years.

Maybe those who don't like kissing wear masks, similar to the anklets for hotwives and pampas grass for swingers.

You are deliberately miss quoting. I have said all along, wear them unless you are medically advised not to. Avoiding wearing because you ‘don’t believe in them’ is selfish. I do not know your situation, that is personal to you. But what is wrong with wearing them to reduce the risk to others?

You're right, in the grand scheme of things it's not hard to wear a mask, I do it regularly. However, I shall not wear one just because you feel uncomfortable, I will be polite and curtious as I always am, but wearing a mask that has no real benefits would be ignorant of facts. Until a year ago and for 40 years before that the research have shown no real benefitsof wearing them.

The main point here is the focus is on a mask with no benefits, rather than actual benefits that people could make. Like I say do what you want, no business of mine, although don't get upset when I don't.

The question you will probably avoid is, if you were told that the evidence now shows that masks were ineffective , would you take it off?

It depends who tells us. Scientific guidance is that they do have an impact in reducing spread to others. Until that changes, I am happy to follow the guidance from the qualified.

A poll taken afterwards said an overwhelming majority thought people should have to keep wearing them And polls aren’t rigged ?

....

Only if you dont agree with them"

Polls are rigged at the point of asking the question. Agreeing with the findings or not takes place once the results are published.

All they have to do is pitch the questions in such a way as to attract the answers they want to hear.

So, yes, polls can be rigged and a lot of them probably are.

To me, in answer to the question of whether masks are effective or not, it is not about opinion polls or science proving/ disproving anything.

It is common sense that a barrier from sneezing/ coughing/ breathing prevents some (not all) germs and as such I will continue out of respect for others not in all but in some circumstances.

We all have to decide for ourselves. It is not about being right or wrong.

I also want to make ( for example elderly/ vulnerable) people around me feel a little bit less anxious.

Everybody make their own responsible choice, I 'd say.

More comments on masks and the use of them and when people should be expected to wear them.
