Would you wear a mask at home if made mandatory?

[Funkypolar]

Just seeing if anybody would go along with it.

No way, i am struggling with dermatitis on my face caused by mask wearing outside as it is.

I have been sick with a head cold all this week and haven't kissed or been near my partner since my symptoms began. I have also been using a mask all week, even sleeping with it on.

He hasn't caught anything from me and I am beginning to feel better.

Hahaha no!

My DH was ill with a bad cold the week before last. None of the rest of us kept our distance from him, I slept in the same bed as him and none of us wore a mask. None of us caught anything from him.

No. How would they even check that?

FFS no. It's bad enough in shops.. Still awaiting a proper study showing that an unwashed bit of cotton taken on and off face a number of times is actually effective.

Hmm, my mask does make me warm. I might try it in winter when I'm too tight to turn the heating up

I live alone with my 6 year old, she gets scared enough going to the supermarket with all the masks (she has seperation anxiety and worries that it's not me behind the mask), like hell am I scaring her more by wearing it in the house.

No way, they do my head in wearing them in the shops with my glasses getting steamed up.

We might when my daughter who is away at university comes home to visit - we’d rather that than not see her.

No.

There is already going to be civil unrest over new rules, so that would be the last straw.

If it could be any mask. My choice.

Whats the point at home.

Absolutely ducking not

You want to? Go ahead, knock yourself out, but I definitely wouldn't.

If/when I get it (it'll probably be me first) we'll all have to isolate anyway, so we might as well all get it at that time, seeing as none of us are in an at risk group. I don't think we'd even try to avoid catching off each other.

I can see it being another matter if you have a vulnerable person living with you though.

If I lived with someone counted as extremely vulnerable to reduce the impact I would, assuming that they were in effect isolating and only using set rooms.
But obviously even with that I wouldn't expect to within my bedroom etc.

If it's just me and my DH, I wouldn't as we're about a meter apart eating meals (which we do all the time now he's working from home) and we share the same bed (and there's no way I'm wearing one while asleep).

DD is at uni in a city that's numbers are running high and rising, so assuming she can come home for xmas then that might be a consideration especially if she's meant to isolate from us or feels unwell.

For talking with trades people or taking deliveries but not for seeing close family and friends. I reduced the spread by sticking to a small circle of people I see, consistently.

Not a chance in hell

Even Chinese don’t wear a mask at home unless there’s an outside visitor

I’m close to my Covid red line being crossed as it is so I would file that particular idea in the ‘not a cat in hells chance‘ box.

Aren't there enough threads about this sort of thing without making up scenarios??

No

Just because you've read about the idea rather than inventing it, that doesn't mean it's not a goady thread. As your tone and wink emojis plainly show, it's a blatant attempt to provoke posters about others' attitudes to Covid measures and to exaggerate the idea of the current measures being OTT by implying that masks at home are something the government would actually impose (which they obviously wouldn't).
