Will you continue to wear a facemask after the 19th July?

Yes, I'll continue to wear my facemask or covering at least some of the time

I might not put it 'quite' as strongly as @Emilyb81 - but I think it could safely be said that we are in the midst of a pandemic, i.e. an epidemic of an infectious disease that spreads across many countries & which also affects many people. With over 4 million deaths worldwide, including 128 thousand deaths in the UK, I feel these figures speak for themselves.

Yeah sorry i was maybe a bit too in yer face with it but everyone in my family caught it and are still poorly now  so i guess i just take it too personally but i do that in general anyway ?? hope i didnt offend anyone! Xx

Nothing to apologise for @Emilyb81 - I just don't say/feel I 'hate' anything.....tho I might dislike it intensely!   I think we're all agreed that everyone can usually have an opinion, but the truth matters over Covid-19. Tori I see has just given links backing up what you'd said. I hope your family improve soon.

Best wishes to your family @Emilyb81

Thankyou @chiarieds    i am not so much sorry for what i said but sorry  because i didnt mean it to come across b@tchy? Im not saying anyone has made me feel that way its just I often read things i've typed and think ooops ?? but i cant delete them on here lol so i am trying to learn to read several times before i post and didnt do that this time unfortunately ?? maybe another thing i need to try harder with is not to post an instant reaction? Maybe thinking it through first when in different headspace would be better in general not just for others but for myself too because i end up cringing at myself a lot ???? nevermind i am still learning every day! So its all good! As long as i havent made anyone feel attacked its ok ? I guess its always going to be hard where loved ones are involved?
And thankyou @Tori_Scope i meant to say some are still poorly not all of them! But appreciate the good wishes ☀️??? xx

No, I won't be wearing my facemask or covering at all

I won’t be wearing a mask because I couldn’t be bothered if I get Covid and it kills me because my son was murdered by a drunk speeding driver in April so my life is hell and I would be only too happy to join him

I do not want to wear a mask any longer after July 19th as as far as I am concerned I have been fully vaccinated and therefore dont see myself as posing a risk to others.

I will carry on wearing one where I'm told to. Shops  for example, maybe for a while on trains & buses & then stop. I don't really want to wear a facemask in pubs or the cinema. There are three pubs  near where me & my wife live and all three have said that people don't need to wear facemasks if they don't want to from Monday . One wasn't really happy about the rules so people sometimes came in without a mask. I don't really want to get to the point where wearing facemasks has become the norm & there are still places in 2025 saying you must wear a mask before you enter.

Hi @MrBB - I'm so very, very sorry about your son. It's a long time ago, but we lost our youngest daughter when she was 23 months old. However, much as I know how that made me feel (& still does), I can't imagine losing a child in the way you have suffered. Your son wouldn't want you to die a horrible death due to Covid, but to live on remembering him.

You would think after all these years I might find the words to help you; I'm not sure I can. I hope you had the privilege of seeing your son grow up, & got to know him as a young adult. That doesn't make it any the easier tho, I'm sure. Your loss is great, but your bond of love is even greater; I know I feel I carry my youngest daughter forever in my heart, & think about her every day.....to me it's a precious burden. I hope you have family &/friends that can support you.

I am grateful to be in Wales! Yes, I am still CEV, so will carry on wearing a mask indoors everywhere except home.and outdoors whenever it feels crowded, close or unsafe. Hand gel is my best friend!

I don't go out often due to anxiety, but when and if I do I will be wearing a mask. I'm going to continue wearing a mask till atleast next year or when the cases are really low again. But I think we could have another wave if people go in groups again without masks so we'll be under another lockdown if were not careful.

Also its kinda become habit now to sanitise hands before entering anywhere and making sure I have my mask with me before leaving the house.

I think it should not be necessary or essential  beacuse  some people in shops or buses are not wearing one and if there still be lockdowns dispite vaccination and mask wearig that I have been wearing then what’s the point 

I don’t like face mask I At all beacuse it’s sometimes hard to breath in also I’m really excepted beacuse I have a disability myself if still have to wear face covering then I will wear a face sheild or exempt badge.

So that’s how I feel about them but
But if it will cost further lockdowns then I will regret not wearing

My husband and I are vulnerable to Covid - he was on the shielding list, having had a stroke and having high blood pressure and diabetes.  I have post-viral ME and asthma.  We are going to continue to wear masks and distance, minimise contact with other people, etc.  I no longer go mooching around the shops - just get the basics at quiet times - and the  only place I go for leisure is the swimming pool as it helps my fibromyalgia and I can't exercise on land and chlorine kills viruses.

Myself and my teens have never worn a mask, been tested or [Removed by moderator - misinformation about vaccines]. I've done lots of research, and all go against my health.

i will always wear a mask i think we will always have to be careful  when we go out i suffer pad. peripheral  arterial disease.and heart problems.i still go out. when i can i am always in pain but i will never give in to it same with this virus its not going to ruin my life. what i have left of it.i cant stand being cooped inside especially living alone also i am lucky to have very good neighbours and family.they always look in on me to make sure i am ok. as for washing masks i have washable ones i dont put them in the washing machine i soak them in bleach and hang them up to dry so [Username removed by moderator] dont use that as an excuse for not wearing a mask and yes i have had both injections even though they said there could be problems with blood clots i still had mine even though i have problems with said blood clots.my family and friends are my priority keeping them safe its just common sense.

You don't need to apologise. My 31 year old step brother died in November because of Covid. He left behind two children who will now grow up without their father. People calling it 'so called' and 'scamdemic' are insulting to his memory.
