"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. | |||

On transport and places where it’s obvious it’s safer we should carry on wearing them | |||

"the reality is that people will do whatever they want regardless of the impact on those around 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. | |||

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. | |||

"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. | |||

"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." Agree with you , masks for most total waste off time , unless you have a proper approved mask and change it every hour who actually does ? | |||

"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 | |||

"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. | |||

" 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. | |||

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’  | |||

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. | |||

I have stuck to every other rule and regulation this is just one I struggle with massively." Are you vaccinated? | |||

Yeah, so that's what they are doing, seeing how the news was taken. I am not sure if that is sarcasm or not, could you confirm before I answer?" Yeah it was sarcastic. | |||

"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. Are you vaccinated?" Yep. Double vaccinated since the beginning of April. | |||

A poll taken afterwards said an overwhelming majority thought people should have to keep wearing them And polls aren’t rigged ? Of course they're rigged. " 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.. | |||

"anti-maskers are torn knowing that masks help against facial recognition cctv that kerbs their freedoms and civil rights" There's been a sort of irony throughout the protests by those opposed to many of the differences we've lived with this last 18 months who tend to hide their faces whatever the protest is.. | |||

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

When announcements were made suddenly, people complained that they hadn't had time to prepare for it, now they are complaining because they've been given time to prepare, they complain if masks are mandatory, then complain when they aren't, people bitch about lockdown then bitch more when we come out of lockdown. I'm providing a counter to all the blind hatred. I've not seem anyone complain they have had time to prepare. Johnson said the other day masks will not be mandatory. Whitty meanwhile said infections will soar and we must do everything to keep ourselves and each other safe. That is clearly contradictory advice. The complaining is about them telling us now but not actually putting it into effect right now, they tried that before and got slated for it, so what are they supposed to do? He also said that nothing will be confirmed until tomorrow/this week. He was outlining the plan. Personally, I think masks should continue to be mandatory in all health settings, shops and public transport, I don't agree that now is the time to ditch masks altogether. 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. He did say they were reviewing the data then making the decision this week. He said that was the outline of the plan but it was all going to be confirmed this week. 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? | |||

"Masks do not keep other people safe, vaccination does not stop any spread of infection. Stop an think for yourself before you rewrite what you have seen on FB, news etc" 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. | |||

"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 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)" Sorry but thats just wrong!

You sound proud of yourself for not wearing a mask. Maybe you can’t wear one? Maybe you choose not to. "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. | |||

Not doing so I would see as totally disrespectful " 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. | |||

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. 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. " 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? | |||

"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.
Does it though? In a real life setting? Why would you not wear one all the time then, just in case....
Should I put some rolling eyes to make my point seem more valid.... As if to say come on, everyone knows that who are really nice!
Being selfish is not the answer…
I would say the people who don't have compassion for others who struggle to wear a face covering are the selfish ones who seem to think it's really easy just because they can do it.
What percentage of the population is that? Seems like 50% at times. By all means do what is medically right - for 99% of us it is wear a mask."Actually that isn't true the government predicted that about 36% of the population is except form wearing a face covering. Please don't judge people and call them selfish because you have no I do what you are talking about. | |||

"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? | |||

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. | |||

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? | |||

" 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. | |||

"As expected the messaging is toned down this week. None of the irreversible comments, in fact this week not ruling anything out for the future. More comments on masks and the use of them and when people should be expected to wear them. Lets hope the people who were shouting "freedom day" last week hear the more cautious message this week. " PS I wasn't convinced of the scientists answers tonight and a couple they didn't answer fully so for us, we will carry on using masks when needed.

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.
You clearly dont because you keep calling people selfish.
You have no idea why someone is not wearing one so maybe have a little thing before making assumptions.
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?
While I believe in freedom of choice, by and large, I am happy about the amount of freedom we have go back given that we are still in the pandemic and we probably have to learn to live with it.
What is so damn hard about wearing a mask when in closer proximity with people?
Washing hands, keeping distance and using protective masks to me is not really that difficult.
It is walking round a hot supermarket pushing a home shopping cart for 8 hrs trying to keep to pick rate of 175 items an hour! At 64 years old! And I know hospital staff have worn them for ever but it's not what I signed up for so I shall ditch mine as and when we are allowed if it makes me selfish so be it xx
What would you do if your employer made mask wearing compulsory on the shop floor? "well obviously wear it lol! They have allready said we can make our own choice!so I've made mine! X | |||

"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.
Does it though? In a real life setting? Why would you not wear one all the time then, just in case....
Should I put some rolling eyes to make my point seem more valid.... As if to say come on, everyone knows that who are really nice!
Being selfish is not the answer…
I would say the people who don't have compassion for others who struggle to wear a face covering are the selfish ones who seem to think it's really easy just because they can do it.
What percentage of the population is that? Seems like 50% at times. By all means do what is medically right - for 99% of us it is wear a mask.

"It’s not hard to wear a mask to protect others. I fail to see or read a convincing argument about why you wouldn’t. I’m not talking about illnesses here I’m talking about those that choose not to. The scientists and doctors are all saying the same thing it seems and yet people are just crying out to have their freedom and Liberty back. It’s a mask. That’s all it is. To stop your droplets going up my nose. A date doesn’t change the risk. " When its mandatory then yes wear them ! When it's not then it's up to peoples choice! Simples! If people want to wear them I wont berate them! Their choice! Will b mine not to! X | |||
