Would you take the Tube if ppl go unmasked?

[MareofBeasttown]

Not that I or DS (17) have much of a choice. We live in central London, do not have a car and DS won't be vaccinated till next year.

Yes, that’s how I get to work, and quite frankly I can’t wait to be unmasked on the tube.

And you are not nervous at all? DS is isolating now bcos there are 3 cases in his class.

Yes. Like you, I live in London & don’t drive. If I want to get on with my life I need to take public transport. Admittedly I’m double vaccinated so that’s reassuring.

I am double vaxxed as well.

@MareofBeasttown no. I’ve travelled into work throughout the pandemic. I’m also 29 weeks pregnant. But life goes on. I’ve had one jab, won’t have the other until August.

Theres no choice

I think I’d just carry on wearing one myself if I was worried about it. I probably will wear a mask out and about during flu and cold season from now on to be honest, now that it’s more socially acceptable. It makes sense

I don’t use the tube for fun. It’s out of necessity. I’ll continue to wear a mask when I use it.

Yep. I'm not in London but I can't drive so have to use public transport where I live. I am not scared of Covid though.

Yes? Why wouldnt I?

I've been on the tube a lot in the last month and a large proportion of people are unmasked already or with their mask under their nose so I can't see it will be that much different. I'm doubled vaxxed but might carry on wearing a mask on the tube if it's busy.

Yes I will wear a mask and so will DS, tho not at all sure if it is much use, but can't hurt.

God yes, it's too hot for mask wearing - half the tube lines don't have air conditioning

It's BOILING down there

Yes. I can't wait for masks to stop and I use the tube daily for work.

It’s not ideal, but I’m double vaccinated and not vulnerable so will live with it.

I think masks should continue to be required on public transport - it will reduce coughs/colds and flu as well as covid. At least during the winter months.

I will not be wearing one very happily, central line with mask plus hot flushes has been grim.

It's too hot on the tube for masks, I've been complying but as soon as we don't have to wear them I won't. I am double vaxxed though and so is DH. I'm sure lots of people will continue wearing them though, so if you want to OP, then why not.

Yes I will, tube has been horrible with masks on hot days, I’ll be glad to have the choice.

Yes. And I won't be wearing a mask either.

I don't get why the uk is dying to get rid of face mask so soon!! Look at every other country and it's people, and then look at the uk, honestly makes me laugh.
There's no reason why we should stop face mask now, it should be continued well in to 2222,
We have been in the best health since keeping away from humans and observing a mask

Yes, but I'd wear one.
Double vaccinated.

@hellogem and no one is going to stop you cracking on if it’s still something you want to practice.

Speak for yourself!

I speak for myself and some.of my colleagues and friends and their children when they say the constant isolation has ruined their mental health.

Hellogem

We are more vaccinated than any of those other countries

They’ll likely follow suit
