Are you still wearing a face mask?

TwoWolves

I've asked for my post to be deleted cos it was totally daft, but the darn things wind me up so much. Bridgeit, I have very rarely worn one, and I'm still here - they don't work!!

But the evidence suggests they do!

Just because you've been lucky isn't proof that they don't work on a population level.

Well said MaisieD, I haven't changed my mask-wearing, distancing or hand sanitizing at all. It was obviously working quite well - Once it was stopped we started dropping like flies again, it was the jabs that saved us from another catastrophe.
We should never have stopped wearing masks, and children over 10 or 12 should wear them too.
Everywhere where other people congregate.

I think the science has shown that wearing a mask does help.
Why would they be recommended, all round the world, otherwise?

Still am wearing and will continue.

What's your evidence for claiming that face masks don't work TwoWolves?

Shelflife - the number of facemask lovers who have gone on to catch covid is remarkable. There are even some Gransnetters who have said it happened to them. I think Covid laughs in the face of facemasks.

As for being foolish, I've had two vaccinations and will go for a booster. And would stay indoors if I had symptoms - that's as far as I'm prepared to go to protect myself or others because facemasks DO NOT WORK.

Yes, at all times when out in public. It’s the law anyway in Scotland but if I manage to get to England next month, I’ll be wearing one there, too.

My medic dd in England wears a mask when she goes out, even if hardly anyone else does. Working in a hospital with 800+ Covid sufferers (earlier this year) makes you wary.

Yes, I'm still wearing one.

I was absolutely astounded when mandatory mask wearing wasn't made a condition of 'freedom'.

Covid is still here and I am doing my utmost to avoid it. My daughter has recovered from Covid and although not hospitalized she felt poorly - and she is in her 30s. So yes I do wear a mask when out . Those that choose not to are entitled to their opinion but are not entitled to put others at risk by their foolishness!!!! TwoWolves please take note!

I'm still wearing one anyway and will continue to do so.

TwoWolves, you possibly won’t need to if you do catch it.

I Have still been wearing one where necessary, it’s not much to ask is it.?

I stil think they missed a trick by telling the public at the outset that a face covering protected others not yourself.
Some people clearly have little regard for “others” judging by the (low) incidence of face mask wearing.
Cynically I believe innate selfishness would have encouraged more to keep on wearing them.
