Are you going to continue wearing a mask

After next week?

[quote MercyBooth]@superblondie28 Our local bus has the heaters on in JULY. I was told they cant be turned off.[/quote]
I feel for you 🥵 Our heaters aren't on but our buses have skylights in ceiling (sun glares through) and air conditioning doesn't work with windows open so bus is still like a greenhouse in hot sunny weather. Wearing a face mask makes me feel hotter although am mid 40s so could be hormones at work 🤔

@AntiMaskersAreTwats Covid anxiety syndrome is a recognised mental health problem.

And attitudes like yours make me far far more scared of living than i am of dying. These psyops nudges dont always have the same result with everyone Because we are all individuals and react differently.

That is why these tactics have backfired in a lot of cases.

@AntiMaskersAreTwats

If your family is really going to ‘lose you’ over mask wearing then you’ve obviously got a severe mental health problem and would be exempt anyway.

I have now because of the masks, but even if someone like me is exempt, (and it's been made very obvious on this site), that people are still getting abuse for not wearing one. One thing that has come from all this is how many ignorant and non understanding people are out there, and in my view that would make them us much of a 'selfish twat' than me.

No

Yes

A perfect example of tactics backfiring. Look at WHOLE thread.

No I won't. Can't wait!

Yes of course I'll wear a mask - because I'm a) physically and mentally able to and b) not thick and selfish.

Yes I will. I think relaxing all the rules is ridiculous. I can't believe we no longer have to social distance.

I will wear a mask on public transport and in shops. I doubt I will be eating out as restaurants will no longer have to space their tables out.

The numbers are going up and Boris thinks it's a good idea to scrap all the precautions.

Yes.

I don't like masks, I'm ok wearing them myself but find it unsettling seeing others in them, particularly en masse.

But I'm also worried about the adults and children who are still vulnerable. I feel that wearing a mask is an easy way to mitigate risks for them and help them feel less scared.

It's weird, up until this point I've always been pretty pragmatic. I've had covid twice and am now double-jabbed. I'm a teacher and have continued working as normal throughout. But for the first time I'm feeling edgy - rising cases, the seemingly temporary nature of immunity, rising global cases and a vaccination programme that can't keep up, favourable conditions for variants and an increasingly angry and rebellious population.

I'm carrying on as normal but there are definitely worries lurking in the shadows.

@dalegirlinthedales

Most certainly not! We live in the arse end of nowhere- there's been about 3 Covid cases in our large rural area throughout the entire pandemic.

With you on this one. I know personally 7 people who have had covid and not many more who are friends of friends............. I will however wear one in the supermarket as rather like not being recognised!

No.

Vile.

Not a chance. I can't stand them. I did everything right this entire time and am now vaccinated.

Waiting for the repercussions of another lockdown which seems to be the way things will go!

No

Nope, I’ve done my bit now it’s time to be a “selfish twat”.

Not on your nellie..

@AntiMaskersAreTwats

Yes because I’m not a selfish twat

You reckon?

No, I will not. I'm clearly as selfish twat who doesn't care about anyone but myself. But the last 18 months has made me hard and uncaring while I've been unable to communicate outside of the house because I rely on lipreading to fully understand speech where there is any background noise.

Yes, in shops, public transport, eating out and anywhere that is not isolated.

Yes I will after seeing what the scientists have had to say. I’ll use my common sense though and won’t bother on a quiet bus/train or walking around in the pub.

Judging by the number of people saying no I expect cases will rise massively in the next few weeks. I really hope there won’t be any more lockdowns or reintroducing restrictions. What’s the alternative though if hospitals start to be overrun again?

I will continue to wear a mask as I’m caring for a CEV. So - I’ll avoid public transport, back to online shopping. I’m interested to see if any supermarkets will still enforce - if so - I will choose to shop there.

Nope. Already stopped as has my DH.

Words fail me.

The only place I'm intending to wear one is when I go back to my normal 'pre-covid' volunteering sessions where we serve meals. Since last summer we've been doing takeaways in a socially-distanced way but once we go back to full capacity I should probably wear one while I'm serving.

I don't particularly want to wear one anywhere else, but I will probably feel a 'duty' to keep a mask in my pocket when I head to the shops/other indoor places in case they are crowded.
