Who is planning to ditch masks as soon as we are legally allowed?

Is anyone else planning to ditch the masks asap? The only reason I wear one atm is because of the legal mandate and it will go as soon as that's dropped.

If you are staunchly pro-mask then this is probably not the thread for you! I know all the arguments on both side and they have been fully rehearsed on this board for the last 2 years. I am simply interested to gauge how many people also want to ditch masks asap, when the law allows.

It would be fab if we could have a thread on this topic that didn't include the words- selfish, it's no hardship, why wouldn't you?, we're in a pandemic ffs, I wear my mask to protect others etc.... that's lovely, and we already know!

Another wise decision by Boris Johnson.

@southeastdweller

I think it’ll go back to guidance only with masks.
Fingers crossed, we’ll hopefully know shortly.

@Monsterathai

Yes on PMQ covid statement, will be encouraged as last June “freedom day” but not mandatory in any setting.

mrsrhodgilbert · 19/01/2022 12:51

Yes, I’m surprised but it’s what he said. Thank goodness

Yahyahs22 · 19/01/2022 12:53

Haven't been wearing one anyway, I'm not sick. And if I am I stay indoors

How far into pmq's was it announced? Trying to find it now Smile

@MarshaBradyo

Happy re schools
I'm so happy that my children and husband (teacher) will no longer have to spend their days masked. Also so pleased to not have to listen to the crowing gaslighting about how masks 'cost nothing' etc.

Me! Next Wednesday. Can’t wait.

Hate the bloody things.

justwondering21 · 19/01/2022 13:04

Will this just be schools in England?

Sparklingbrook · 19/01/2022 13:06

Oh no! The Coronavirus topic will be tumbleweed if people can't whine about wearing masks. Will I have to cut my bingo card up? Grin

Will we never hear the words 'face nappy', 'useless rag', or 'muzzle' ever again? Shock

imoutofhere · 19/01/2022 13:06

I'm going to keep wearing one. Personally I feel that there are too many people who just don't care anymore, so I'm taking cars

Crackingowlsanctuary · 19/01/2022 13:06

The right decision and happy the kids don’t have to sit in them all day anymore as well

Aposterhasnoname · 19/01/2022 13:07

Halle-fucking-lujah.

Bonfire time.

Oops, sent my last post too quickly! Should have said ...

Sorry for your loss Grin

well, you can all go and have your mask bonfires, I guess, though how that tallies with your seeming concern about the environment I'm not sure.

My DD has Covid again so I'll be staying inside with her until she's better, and hopefully she won't end up back in hospital again.
