Mask or no mask when restrictions are lifted? Poll added

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

I wore one to local shops this week. And to Dentist and an ENT appt but those were enforced. My wife doesn't wear them in any place where it's indoors and not enforced. Seems silly following two different approaches. We go trafford centre in a week, she'll not wear a mask I will. It's daft isn't it. I'm stopping myself from potentially spreading covid, but it doesn't stop me catching it from all those that have no mask. Wish we'd kept it mandatory for just 2 months.

I've not worn a mask anywhere this week other than at the customers I've visited that insist on it. This is either the end game or we accept that Covid will result in a certain number of deaths each year like flu etc.

The supermarkets sacked it all off a while ago. Most of the staff don’t wear masks now and the big Sainsbury’s near me have got rid of the bouncers and sanitiser stations on the door.

The Sanitising stations, whilst a well intended idea are just dreadful, unless they are sensor activated they will be either covered in dirt or the cheapest chemicals (in an oversized bottle) that is bad for your skin. I use the little tub in my pocket or not at all.

100% agree why would I touch a dirty button pressed by everyone else, I always carry own and use that unless automatic

I'll continue to wear a mask during public transport and confined spaces

Because when you touch the button you then sanitise your hand clean ….

Keep wearing yours. If she catches it and passes it onto you, you can bring up how she nearly killed you for the next few years. Win every argument for a while.

Yeah I realize that but I still don't like the idea of it, I'm in a habit now to bring my own and clean the kids aswell so doesn't bother me but they do look bogging, let's just say well fingered

This forum seems to be a Covid wary safe space.

Most people don't seem to give a rats arse any more.

You mean you accept those things? You were the one who decided to not wear it

On a serious note it would be interesting to see the demographics who feel certain ways eg older/suburban. I live in Manchester City Centre and it’s been carnage for weeks.

I'm fully vaccinated and as far as I'm concerned that is as far as I'm prepared to go regarding Covid. If that's not good enough and it sees me off then oh well. I'd prefer to live my life as I have done for the last 67 years. Others might not and it's entirely up to them.
