Not sure how Boris can stand up tonight and ask us to wait 'just another few weeks' after his antics this weekend.

Nor after seeing the scenes at countless pubs where people were celebrating the footy results

I'm 100% done now

Nothing to do with masks. Outside gatherings in England are limited to 30 people. There are 28 in the photo and others not pictured.

So they are exceeding the numbers allowed for outdoors gatherings.

@TheKeatingFive

It's a pandemic, you don't decide when it's over or else it would never have begun.

Honestly, the hard of thinking keep bleating versions of this thought and it’s so tedious.

No one is saying they decide when Covid is over. They’re saying they decide when a particular strategy for dealing with it is over. It’s not a very difficult distinction.

As an individual, you don't decide when a strategy is over either. It's for policy makers to decide. You need to comply as it's not just about your own appetite for risk, you could impact others as well.

UpSlyDown

If I were your neighbour and I knew you were breaking the rules I would report you.

I can't see other members of my family or friends unless I travel - all within the UK. They would be appalled if I rocked up unannounced and asked to be let in if I was breaking the rules. I wouldn't do it anyway!

@Dissimilitude

We are slightly cursed in the UK with a combination of safety-ist SAGE, but a PM with libertarian leanings.

I could live with being Australia / Taiwan (stringent enforcement but long periods of domestic normality), or Texas / Florida (risk acceptance and live your life while covid rages on in the background).

But instead we've chosen interminable, weakly enforced restrictions.

So I am also done!

This sums up perfectly how I feel. It’s the cock-ups, lockdown and repeat. Over and over again. I could cope with 1. Asian enforcement + relative normality or 2. now the vulnerable are vaccinated make your own risk assessment and take your chances approach. But I refuse to comply any longer with this complete farce. I’m done.

20 year olds are extremely unlikely to be ill from covid. Whatever we do in this country it will circulate and mutate in other countries then be imported here.

I’m done too.

ill continue wearing the masks in shops as I don't particularly fancy a £1000 fine or being confronted by a Covid Monitor who thinks it's their place to question it.

But I'm done with the not having people inside your house too. Never doing that again, sorry Boris. (Or rather, sorry Saint Nicola who is even worse than he is).

Obviously it’s your decision and you do what’s right for you but if this is not for your health reasons
Just know that this ends when people stop being so compliant

You will not get a £1000 fine. I believe this was done in the beginning to frighten us ( look at Laura dodsworth book a state of fear)
Courts are chucking out all the fake fines right left and centre

Everyone has the right to be exempt, they gave no right to ask for proof, you do not need to supply proof, you do not need to wear a lanyard and your Gp will not supply you with a letter

If you come up against a bully boy , quote the 2010 equality act to them and say that do they realise if harassed you can take them to court and they can be fined up to £9000

Baby steps and it’s very freeing
I’ve never worn one and never intend to.

I hope June 21 people will take back their power and ditch the mask

As an individual, you don't decide when a strategy is over either.

I don’t agree.

The government know they only govern by consent.

Lockdowns only work with compliance. Once compliance is shot, they need new strategies.

@placemats

Can I ask those that are done.

Would you wear a face mask on a plane journey?

A train journey?

A bus?

A Taxi?

Not after 21st June. I Am Done.

I'm exempt anyway but wore a mask to keep the peace. Not anymore.

BoJo and Co haven't actually broken any rules, though. You can meet in groups larger than 30 if it's work related (including meal breaks). It's really horrible that you can't do the exact same thing for a wedding, but, ultimately, weddings aren't as much of a priority as allowing people to work.

I hope that the 30 people rule will be scrapped for weddings (have heard it might be), but ultimately with hospitalisation up 15%, a few more weeks is not the worst thing that could happen when the restrictions are currently so few. I'd rather a few more weeks now than another full lockdown later.
Given that there are many vulnerable people who are unvaccinated (including children), great swathes of people who haven't been able to get a vaccine yet (including children who are more affected by this variant), and uncertainty about how effective this vaccine is against the Delta strain, I think BoJo has (for once) made the right decision to delay lifting all restrictions just yet.

I wish we were done with this, but, sadly, we're not. Everyone should make a choice about their own risks re: vaccines, family/friends social distancing etc, but you have to remeber that you're also making the choice for those around you when you break some of the rules (social distancing in public, not wearing a mask etc) and by doing so, you're risking their lives, health and livelihood with no idea of the concequences.

@MRex

A bunch of double vaccinated people being tested every day, of course the G7 were all safe at an outdoor event. If they weren't able to feel safe at that point then we're all really screwed.

Waiting a few weeks to allow those in their 20s who have not been offered a jab yet to get a jab and build some level of immunity seems fair to me. They have gone through the same restrictions and deserve the same protections as older people. Letting cases reduce will also protect children, who can't be jabbed and also don't want covid. Masks are actually about protecting your fellow citizens, and aren't mandatory outside. Enjoy the sunny weather and be patient for a few weeks.

Yeah. This is how I feel.

I cannot get het up about G7 "antics". Nor do I feel the current restrictions are particularly harsh for the level of risk currently. A few more weeks and the entire adult population will be vaccinated.

You talk about forced testing - I find that incredible in someone working in healthcare.

Would you be happy for a surgeon and the team to operate on you without wearing a mask?

Yes me too TentTalk and MRex

But if it’s not safe, it’s not safe. This government have failed to listen to the scientists until it’s too late - that’s the reason we’ve had repeated long lockdowns. It’s not a choice between delaying with no consequences or opening with no consequences - there will be consequences either way. I don’t want another lockdown or yet more school closures - if that means a delay is necessary then it’s preferable!

I think we have become that obsessed with counting the number of cases at any given time that we have completely lost sight of what the danger was.

Feeling done with it all and actually being done with it all are very different things though. You can feel done all you like but unless you force a priest to marry a couple and force a venue to accept more than 30 people, realistically what are you going to do about it. And stopping wearing masks- good for you, be a dick and place others at risk. Want to put yourself at a risk you feel is acceptable is one thing, placing others at risk who have no choice about that is a different one.

@flameprincess

I am going to stop wearing a mask. I wore a mask all last summer while heavily pregnant when shopping and again in hospital for every appointment and it was miserable. I can't believe I'm still having to do it in this fucking heat and I'm double vaccinated now. If everyone needs to be vaccinated because it prevents transmission then why do I need to wear a mask? What am I protecting people from?

Vaccination helps to prevent transmission. It's not a magic cloak.

I used to wear a mask everywhere, now I only wear one inside shops, etc. I don't know who has been vaccinated and who hasn't, and some people can't be vaccinated at all, so it seems sensible for the moment.

(And I have found comfortable, properly-fitting masks, so wearing them inside is not a big deal. I think most people have struggled because they've been wearing shit, too-small masks, or sweaty disposables.)

@OliviaWainright

Aside from certain, real, exceptions, WHY is wearing a mask such a hardship? It's vaguely annoying, but I feel the same way about shoes.

Well it’s a good thing everyone is exactly like you, then, isn’t it? Or perhaps we’re not.

Reasons from people I know who find masks ‘such a hardship’ -

• if you rely on lip-reading, it’s very difficult when everyone else is in masks

• masks are a pain in the arse with glasses in cold/damp weather, which is doubly difficult if you have some limits to your vision anyway

• masks feel smothering and claustrophobic to some people

• masks can irritate the hell out of some people’s skin

Just for a starter.

I will wear masks as long as I need to, I’m not stomping off in a huff about ‘face nappies’, but yes they are more annoying than shoes for many of us.

@RightOnTheEdge

The posters who say they are not wearing a mask anymore how will that work in places like shops and pubs where its required. Will you just say you are exemptif the staff ask you?

Yes and I do I’m not buying into this stupid charade In fact I never did

There are always selfish idiots who claim an exemption. Almost no-one is genuinely exempt. Useful that people announce in one go that they are a) dim and b) selfish.

@ILookAtTheFloor

I'm so glad the tide is turning 👍

I know there is a contingent still trembling in their boots calling for full lockdown/washing their shopping but I think there are fewer of those now.

I am done too - totally sick of idiots who can't be patient until more people have had two vaccines, and we have a better idea of the effectiveness of vaccines on variants. Selfish stupid people are dragging this clusterfuck out much longer than necessary with stupid calls to return to normal.

@Remmy123

I was done a while ago.

I post my job

My children are showing signs of issues they never had before lockdown (mentally and physically)

1k people in hospital with covid

What wouid be his argument to extend?

Absolute joke

The covid passports aren’t ready ?😂😂😂

@shewalkslikerihanna

If your point is the fact other people will say they are exempt when they are not, there is nothing I can do about other people, I replied what I will do, if its not, I have no idea why you tagged me and what point you were trying to make

@SinkGirl

But it is safe for the vast majority of people for the majority of the country. Number of cases very small, people in hospital small or none, deaths tiny number.

This is why people are increasingly questioning the continued restrictions. The vaccines are working and numbers that are in hospital are really low. Live with it now

They wore masks pre-covid? Surgeons wear masks so they don't get my internal organs and juice in their airways..nothing to do with covid!

But with regard to covid, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

What amuses me is this them vs us divide - the general public would be shocked at the amount of NHS workers & key workers that haven't had the vax, don't see the need for the masks etc.

I have no care if anyone treating me is vaccinated, or pro-mask - in the same sense I wouldn't care if they're HIV positive. Literally no-one elses business.

@June2021
We have to learn to live with it
Andrew marr said on his show
Out of 42 recent delta death , 12 people were double vaxed

12!
That’s massive that is.
