To Think We Should Still Be Wearing Masks

[TheShellBeach]

Especially seeing the news coming out of China, and the lies they seem to be telling about the Covid situation there.

I never stopped wearing a mask when shopping anyway, even though we were told it was no longer necessary.

Yes, I know that most people have now been vaccinated.

No hated masks each to their own . I am not worried.

Absolutely not

Considering we were advised to wear masks AFTER the outbreak and people still got covid when wearing them I don't bother. But it's up to the individual as is being vaccinated.

No one is stopping you from wearing one, are they?

YABVU

Is there no longer a Covid topic?

I mean I don't judge anyone wearing them but I think if you are vaccinated then you shouldn't be made to wear a mask long-term. This isn't something that will go away overnight and it's a bit unrealistic for us all to be wearing them every time we go out. But if you want to and choose to then that's fine.

Forever?
Bloody hated wearing them. Tend to avoid crowded places for non covid reasons. And I’m vaccinated. I just want to get on with my life now.

Not at all. I wont be wearing one.

No.

No, not happening.

I like masks tbh, I'm autistic and it makes me feel a bit calmer "hiding" behind them. But I don't think they should be compulsory, it's fine as it is, people can wear or not wear as they want.

I think if you are vaccinated then you shouldn't be made to wear a mask long-term
And those unvaccinated should just wear them? Thatll work.

I still wear them but I am immune suppressed ,my Husband does too when indoors (shopping) .
The risk for new variants in China is high .

NoToMasksAndAllTheCapitals.

Given that masks are there to protect people from what you're breathing out rather than in, it makes me feel I want to give mask wearers a wide berth as it makes me wonder if they've got the virus

Not for me, but 100% happy for other people to if they choose to.

I've been wearing one shopping as I'm immunocompromised
Just tested positive today

You do know that masks weren’t especially effective in preventing disease. Wear one if it makes you feel better. Leave the rest of us to live our lives please.

Nope. I got covid when everyone was wearing masks, then got covid when nobody was wearing masks <shrug>.

Got Covid when nobody had vaccines. Got it again when I'd been vaccinated, and felt a lot less ill.

Seeing as they're so effective, why do you care whether anyone else wears them...

So it worked then?

@JoyBeorge 🤣

The only place I wear a mask is the hospital and I'm pretty sure i caught Covid there, so I'm not sure how effective they really are tbh.
