I absolutely will NOT.

I'm counting the days until I can ditch the horrible things.

No - except maybe on a crowded tube etc, depending on virus levels at the time.

kowari · 25/06/2021 17:46

I only wear one when I am required to do so. The minute they are optional I will stop.

Bemystarlord · 25/06/2021 17:46

Nope! No way. Can’t wait.

DappledOliveGroves · 25/06/2021 17:46

No. Loathe them.

lljkk · 25/06/2021 17:47

yes if required or requested.

Can't imagine doing it off my own back.

Maybe the new norm will be to to wear on in public when you know you have a bit of cough or snivel. I could see me doing that to fit in.

Girlmama3 · 25/06/2021 17:48

Yes but only because I’m pregnant and don’t fancy covid with squished lungs.

MrsWooster · 25/06/2021 17:49

Yes when I have a cold or cough, probably not routinely.

ilovesooty · 25/06/2021 17:50

On public transport if it's crowded, possibly, especially in the winter.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 25/06/2021 17:51

No, not ever.

MargotEmin · 25/06/2021 17:52

Yes maybe on the tube or when feeling under the weather, a bit like some Asian people already do - but obviously not as frequently as I do now!

Twiggywinkle13 · 25/06/2021 17:52

As soon as they’re not mandatory I’ll be ditching mine - hate the things.

CharlotteRose90 · 25/06/2021 17:52

Yep In supermarkets and public transport. Don’t fancy catching covid from someone .

StuffyHead · 25/06/2021 17:53

No unless legally required.

Treezan82 · 25/06/2021 17:53

Fuck no.

RuthW · 25/06/2021 17:55

Yes I will continue when in public places.

MrsUnderkracker · 25/06/2021 17:56

Absolutely yes , of course, especially in public such as in shops and on public transport.

Elisandra · 25/06/2021 17:56

Yes, absolutely. Inside shops etc. The vaccines are great but it seems they’re not able to entirely block transmission of Delta, so masks are a back up for now. I don’t have a medical or traumatic experience to make them impossible to wear so it’s an easy thing for me to do.

duckme · 25/06/2021 17:57

Christ no. I don't see the point in them now, but I wear them because I'm legally required to. They won't even have finished making the 'end of mask' statement before im burning mine.

ineedaholidayandwine · 25/06/2021 17:57

Nope.

BamboozledandBefuddled · 25/06/2021 17:58

No way!

Twistered · 25/06/2021 18:00

No I'm done with the whole thing now tbh. It's one rule for us minions and a different rule for Boris, Hancock, football dignatries etc.

I can't take anything they advise seriously anymore

IndigoC · 25/06/2021 18:00

Yes, they don’t me at all and I’ll continue to wear one to protect others. You never know when you might be seated on public transport next to somebody vulnerable or immuncompromised.

IndigoC · 25/06/2021 18:01

^bother me

roguetomato · 25/06/2021 18:02

Meh, for normal people who just need to wear them only in certain places, it's not a big deal, and people are too dramatic, imo.
If I was stuck in a small room or transport I would wear it because I trust the effectiveness of it. If I have cold, I would wear it so I won't spread to others. It's only a piece of cloth, wearing them won't change who I am.

Starlitexpress · 25/06/2021 18:04

Been told we still have to wear them in work regardless, not happy.
