"Masks are only a government guideline so you didn't have to follow "
There are plenty or places that you can't go into without a face covering. Including hospital and doctors. Despite my daughter being exempt if she so wished... she has worn one anyway at my insistence... but at the doctors she had to wear one regardless |

"I keep hearing that masks are no longer mandatory???
False info or right"
From May 17th, it was no longer required for students to wear masks in school. The adults still have to wear them in the corridors.

Hmm I need to check that, as the school where I work has removed the requirements for anyone including staff to wear masks in corridors.
They're still compulsory on public transport, in shops, docs, hospital and I believe in newly opened places such as cinemas. |

I actually don't mind wearing a mask now. We wear them at work in contact with customers and apply social distancing as best we can, it's become a second nature when heading out to the shops too  and like someone earlier said, I have a face for radio anyway haha |

You do understand that masks are not PPE (personal protection equipment)? Wearing one will not protect you. |

So you only do necessary things? |

For most people, the requirements of mask wearing are legally compulsory in specific circumstances. It's good that mom people know this and take this step to help to rebuilt our lives for the good of everyone. |

You misuse the word 'psychotic'. It is necessary to help to protect life and health of ourselves and others. We are also working to rebuild our lifestyles and economy. Masks are a contribution to this essential goal. |

I'll keep wearing my masks, including double masking in higher risk situations. Sorry that bothers you. |

Do you not clean your teeth every day?
I clean mine at least twice a day, morning and night, i even have an electric toothbrush to do it with..
Perhaps you should wear a mask, if only to protect others from unpleasant odour.. |

Wear a mask don’t wear a mask let it be people’s choice. Don’t tell me I have to wear a mask or I risk killing people but some one who is demmed unable to wear a mask are ok to not do so and go out and kill people.
Just let that sink in for a while. |

Isn’t the plan to remove all restrictions in 21 June? ie including masks?
We may not get there but should know on 14 June!
Saying that, far east countries that experienced SARS have mask wearing on public transport as commonplace anyway! |

Really so de pending on the occupation it's not just essential and has a purpose to protect not only breathing in dust via the mouth or nose. Given amount of pollution in the air alone I'd say it has its benefits, you wear a hat to keep the head warm it might not protect against a brick causing damage but has a purpose PPE isn't just in the work place, it's how a person protects themselves from rain, wind, stopping the body becoming unwell resulting in pneumonia, colds, flu.
I'll take my chances when you take your Risk. |

My thinking on this is why shouldn't we keep wearing them if we need to protect each other from airborne bugs and viruses.. Lots of countries did it before Covid.. So maybe we could /should adopt the same? |

The masks are more to keep your germs in rather than other People's germs out.
So in a way it's "I wear my mask for you, you wear your mask for me." Or not.. |

Yup same here, no colds or flu for me since I started wearing one, even hay fever hasn't been as bad. As for those saying they don't do anything, sorry but you need to check your facts, as the mask I wear is a close fit mask with a disposable ffp3/n95 certified filter which is rated to stop organic vapour particles smaller than the water droplets that have been proven to carry the virus and I am quiet sure it works as it happily stops the fumes from varnish and paints that I use in my workshop. Stupid lace fashion masks will not work no but then you would be an idiot to think that they would |

The guidance that we follow is for Year 7's upwards. This is the paragraph from the appropriage gvt. document. It does say that it is "guidance" not mandatory.

worn by staff and visitors in situations outside of classrooms where social distancing is not
possible (for example, when moving around in corridors and communal areas)." |

And for those of us not wearing a "cheap Chinese rag"? Ie ffp3/n95 filter masks, what does your obviously hyper intelligent self say about those as they carry a certificate that states they will stop particles smaller than the water droplets carrying the virus? |

I think the aim is to remove restrictions on where you can go so nightclubs and other businesses which are still closed can open.
I presume there will still be testing prior to admission for large gatherings where people won't be wearing masks. Which is why they have had the recent experimental/controlled gigs and nightclub nights. All the people at those had to have negative tests prior to attending. |

"People are going to have to start trusting people again. "
Given what I see every day, I'm no longer of the opinion that most of my fellow humans can be trusted.
Not only the bizarre posts one gets here... But over a year into this pandemic and people still haven't learned how to actually wear a face mask, which also means they must not understand the most basic concepts of how they protect people.
It's concerning. And really isn't rocket science. |

Your "right to choice" ends when that choice can seriously harm or even kill others without their knowledge or consent.
A face mask is a minor inconvenience and if we all wear them (unless medically exempt) it will drastically reduce transmission of all airborne viruses.
Why a piece of material has become some symbol in some imaginary freedom fight is rather mystifying. But then people place great importance in pieces of cloth hanging from poles and I don't get that either. |

But conversely - who does it hurt if I want to wear a mask in 2023? Maybe I can't afford to catch a cold this week. Maybe I'm immunocompromised. Maybe my nose is cold. Maybe it turns me on. |
