DH has a compromised immune system from cancer treatment over the last two years, so I think we will still wear our masks for a little while longer.

4 years ago, before covid I was sitting on a plane with a woman next but one to me, empty seat in between, who spent the whole time coughing and spluttering. The next day I felt my chest tightening and I was heading for a bout of bronchitis which lasted 3 weeks and 2 bouts of antibiotics. This is why we should continue to wear masks on public transport.

Just remember all the colds that spread through offices and the people who came into work looking sometimes like death warmed up.

I will carry on wearing mine.
The virus hasn't gone away and it is not mild illness.

This is more about Johnson trying to regain some popularity.

Oh how wonderful to be free to go around infecting other people…

What ? I understood no more for school students. Surely we are keeping them in shops etc.
I will be wearing mine. It’s the minimum we can do and no hardship.

It’s too soon, the scientific evidence to support the decision is needed.

I will still be wearing mine!

Not sure it is completely good news.

That's made my day! I'm delighted and relieved.

At last, some sense from the government. Roll on 26th Jan.
