Indeed, people taking their masks off want to read this stuff so now it is on msm a bit more.

I wasn't that bothered about going to the pub at the best of times but now I am even less inclined to go there. Frankly I can manage quite well without a lot of what the "hospitality industry" has to offer me and I can do without the expense as well. Saved a fortune during lockdown and don't really miss the boors and punters talking shite at the bar. Let them get on with it.

Uk needs to keep a lot of social distancing I say
I’m sure I’ve read that many double vaxed ARE hospitalised. and on this link dying too
Nearly 30% of those dying of Delta Covid are double vaccinated
The data shows that vaccinations are not 100% effective, say experts, but doesn't mean they don't work

We are all going to have to learn to live with it whether we like it are not, take some sensible precautions but it isn;t going away and we cannot lock up for ever
How can you say they spread unnecessary fear and then in the next sentence say they encourage people to go out? Surely if people are fearful they are more likely to stay in.
There was someone asking about pubs or restaurants that are still keeping the precautions on a local FB page as they are vulnerable and almost all are keeping them on. Supermarkets and independents sending texts out saying the same. It doesn't look like freedom day is going to change much.

The 99% of people who don't have symptoms are going out but are unnecessarily scared of the virus.
They are scared going about their daily lives, it's awful to watch and masks clearly contribute to it.
Those who have symptoms (the only ones who anyone claims masks
are useful for) go out because of those claims, when, if you worried about infection control, you would want them to stay in.

You think no one will be taking masks off?
What percentage in supermarkets do you think will continue to wear?
Polls suggest 66%
I am thinking more maybe, on day one at least
Mummy pig has just been shopping and said that most people were still wearing masks, I dont know how long it will be before they fizzle out could be just a week or so or it could carry on for months, even years, probably depends a lot on the death rate over the next month or so.
99% round here , except Aldi Lidl customers ............ make of that what you will .

Around 90% in Tesco earlier still wearing.
Only 20% on train nearby
Around 60% on tube.
Be interesting to see how much rates change up or down from here.
As it's cheaper, you would expect that they are smarter than those who waste money in Sainsburys. So perhaps capable of critical thinking. Just a thought.

I have been upto Bolsover today. Popped into two village shops for a paper and then a sandwich. Masks being worn by most folk I saw in the shops and on pavement. I almost coughed on purpose - but as I couldn't see a debrilliator handy thought better of it. Even on Sainsburys forecourt when I filled car with diesel. Two folk fully masked as they got out of car and all time on forecourt. Going to be a long time before most folk feel safe. I reckon they would love another lockdown. Fun times.
