Yes but to avoid this you would need to wear it all day everyday which isn’t possible
Will you keep wearing a mask when you don't have to?

I've never worn a mask and not going to start now. There is no high quality evidence that they offer any benefit. If anyone is daft enough to think that a manky contaminated old rag in their car ash tray is beneficial - then carry on . Some studies now emerging showing harm from mask wearing. It's all just compliance theatre and you are the actors.

Many surgeons prior to this even stopped using them in surgery because of the lack of science as to their effectiveness. Including this former president of the Royal College of Surgeons.
Correlation Between Mask Compliance and COVID-19 Outcomes in Europe
Masking was the single most common non-pharmaceutical intervention in the course of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Most countries have implemented recommendations or mandates regarding the use of masks in public spaces. The aim of this short study was to analyse the...

About 30 years ago I wore a mask to keep dust out of my mouth and nose when unloading bedding sawdust into a loosebox.
I learned the mask kept most of the dust out but my glasses steamed up!
Masks might (?) be better today. But Covid is likely a smaller organism than fine sawdust. And my glasses still steamed up with a Covid mask, even a purchased not homemade one.
So I don’t worry about masks for Covid, consider them useless - and don’t use sawdust for bedding any more.

Indeed! I'm just not really understanding why people have stopped wearing them if they believe in them so much.I've never worn a mask and not going to start now.

Infection rates are close to all time highs and no one seems to want to make this "small sacrifice" any longer.

You really don't have to...then it would be shorter, which is what you want.
I understand you want to brush your previous behaviour under the carpet and not talk about it

There's a few folk in the local supermarket, including staff, not wearing them now, not sure what's changed, just got pi**ed off with it?
Had to get the kids from school at lunch time as half the teachers were going home early due to flood warnings. Noticed some of the teachers wearing them and some (including the principal) not The kids say it depends what room they're in

The reason Essex and others shouldn’t stop is to expose the incompetent clowns who run our life’s who are doing more damage than good with their measures most of it based on nothing other than guess work or in their words following the scienceWhy haven't you stopped

Same here, two girls taking orders both masked up but behind perspex so no contact with customers ( apart from taking cash as its cash only) yet the ones behind them doing the food prep and cooking unmasked.

In what way? Not going along with the things you not doing yourself now?
