Do yell ? It was a random Cambridge postcode as I don’t know the area. I told you, masks dont work, I think you have forgot what the discussion was about.
Refused entry to a shop for non mask wearing!

You just don't get it do you plus the numbers are per 100,000 so it's like for like. Plus this is South Cambridgeshire so a much bigger area than Cambridge itself.

Double vaccinated & still wearing masks, the mind boggles.
Cloth masks don't do Jack shit.
If people were legitimately concerned about a virus, they'd be concerned about the type of mask and making sure it's worn and fitted correctly, not some fellar at home cutting up his Star Wars t-shirt and making his own, to “show off”.
They don't. Most people just wear them to comply, avoid conflict, or virtue signal, they are having fun playing pandemic. They get to dress up in costumes and enjoy the constant reassurance that they’re saving the world by wearing a blue mask

No, you don’t get it do you, I told you I didn’t want t get into it, but you couldn’t let it go could you. keep wearing the mask mate I’ve not worn one for months and don’t intend to. Sad for your friend by the way. But you had to push it.

I haven't pushed anything. I'm just making a point which you have tried to counter. I will carry on wearing a mask in places like shops public transport etc., as I think it's the correct thing to do I won't wear one when I am outside or inside my own or family and friends houses. Cases in Cambridge city will rise over the next few weeks as thousands of students arrive from across the country and around the World, the largest intake ever due to th exam results this August.

In the beginning, we all made decisions based on the available information
But the available information has CHANGED and if people haven’t evaluated by now then it’s borderline embarrassing.

Many people are catching Covid who have been double jabbed, it's not anything like 100% effective. Numbers are rising every day and hospital admissions are ow over 8000 when it was under 1000 just before they relaxed the rules. Those wo have been jabbed are less likely to be seriously ill but those who have had the jabs can still transmit the disease to others. "Embarrassed"? not in the slightest, I am doing what I think is the correct course of action.

You can wear a mask daily for the remainder of your life... None of my business. Its your call and if you think that’s right that’s fine as it’s your choice.
I think they are pure theatre but if it makes people feel safer then what can you do.

My boss, who is also a lovely friend and colleague is in hospital. She is desperately ill and has no history of ill health. She took ill last Wednesday and is confirmed with Covid. She hadn't been out of bed since this Wednesday. She can't breathe properly, She can barely walk and cannot move from upstairs. Her limbs are in agony and she cannot eat or drink. She was taken to hospital last night due to the lack of fluids, weakness and dehydration. Puking and shitting nothing from both ends takes it toll after a week.
She breathlessly whispered to me today on the phone "don't ever let your guard down on this one. I got complacent and stopped wearing a mask. The specialist told me that so many people think it's not real. This is the most ill I've ever been in my life and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy".
Double jabbed, fit as a butchers dog. I'm really worried about her. She's 47.
And yet we have utter bellends like the OP moaning. Listen. Do what you like. But if a shopkeeper wants you to wear a mask don't be a dickhead coming on here complaining because it makes you look thick as mince just because YOU might not have been affected...................yet.

This goes back to the start, when the Gov lied to everyone about masks because they wanted to prioritise them to the NHS frontline. Then they changed their mind (handy that). But still didn’t manage to get enough high protection medical grade masks out to the general public. So they changed the language to face coverings, which ranged from low protection to not bad actually, 3-4 layers of cotton. But still no advice, guidance, etc about best practice, best types. Shame that, because they spent a fortune telling us how to sing along whilst washing our hands.
Currently over 50 people in the Vic and two-thirds of them were double-jabbed.
I’ll wear a medical grade mask if I’m going inside anywhere particularly busy - e.g supermarket or BFC concourse. Outside, I don’t tend to wear them. Just common sense really.

And the masks are working then not, so don't post utter shite.
My wife works at the hospital and she is in agreement with majority of colleagues they are useless unless the proper surgical ones are worn not a flimsy bit of paper.
As to being a dickhead I was posting for a discussion on here you might of missed it if you had read it properly the irony of an owner refusing entry but not wearing one themselves.
But you chose to go on the the attack tosser.

Tbh, I don't wear one that often any more but that's not my point. I would say I don't really know if they are effective or not. Yes, I can read a study or an article but it seems there's a study or an article that will say black is white and white is black. People I respect and who know more than me about stuff hold counteracting views. So me, a thicko, is left with the searing conclusion of *I dunno really, it's one of them Chizz*
I think people wearing masks are often wearing them to have a sense of control. I'm not vulnerable so I can go 'hey ho, I'm jabbed, let's go, it's probably going to be a bit like flu if I get it's but if you are vulnerable or your mum, your dad, your kid are, then it's all a bit different.
I was way more aware of my behaviour when we went to my mother in law's for example as both of them are a) old and b) have serious vulnerabilities. It's a bit sobering to think, hmmm, I could pass stuff on to them that could kill them. This is true all the time of course, but it just seems particularly so atm. I've not really gorged on covid news or indulged in the fear but how can you not be aware of it when in the house of a frail elderly couple.
I think citing it as virtue signalling is unfair. Even if it's illogical or based in no great science then another person wearing a mask has no impact on my life. Wearing a mask myself isn't really any great imposition either and whilst it's grand just going out without one and not having to pause at the shop door, if I do wear one, I don't particularly hate it either.
In fact, I wonder to myself, should I be wearing one. I literally don't know. I've seen some persuasive evidence to say I should. I've seen some persuasive evidence to say, no point.
Therefore, I am perhaps the worst of all in this binary world. Someone with no conviction. The true crime of the age is uncertainty. The winner is the most certain person, not the most right. This is 2021. I digress.
I genuinely don't understand why masks are such an emotive issue. We have lots of imposition on our liberty and freedom everyday and whilst I understand that mask wearing is an imposition, it seems less of concern to me than say, surveillance of me by facial recognition and technology or other stuff that goes on.
Anyway. Up the pool. 10-0 today. We are all tangerine.

I just read that as: we aren’t in lockdown anymore. Everywhere is open. You can go anywhere you like, and you don’t have to wear a mask. Schools are back. The unvaccinated will be dying from the Delta variant, misinformation and complacency.

That's total bullshit, I was working outside, never came into contact with any of my customers so never put myself or my clients at risk. I always had a mask with me and would put it on if a client did, which was about twice, come out into the garden and speak to me and we would keep several yards apart. I wasn't the one complaining, just a few off here who seemed to really dislike the fact I was going out to work in the outside, I never moaned at all as I was lucky enough to carry on working over lockdown in a safe environment and my business grew through it.
As you know I caught Ovid when I gave my eldest son a hug last December when we went for a dog walk, again I got pelters for that from the same few people and it was entirely my fault and cold have had dire consequences, luckily it didn't so I know the risks better than anyone, which is why I am still cautious and what I believe to be responsible and sensible now.
So, I am sick of your sanctimonious inaccurate bullshit and you need to get your facts straight. You are pathetic.

My facts were straight. I stated that you were a gardener and that you were doing a job that didn't bring you into contact with people. I stated that you were bemoaning the fact on here that you couldn't do your job? So what is bullshit about any of that? So you are doing what you think is the correct course "now" but you were moaning about having to do the correct course of action back then.

Get your head out of your backside. I NEVER moaned that I couldn't do my job. I never had a problem doing my job as I was allowed to carry on because I didn't come into contact with any people or went inside any houses., so you are WRONG (something that is impossible for you to ever admit because you're crazy) I never moaned about doing the correct course of action back then because I was doing the correct course of action, it was others who seemed to think I wasn't following the correct course of action, a determined handful, who were also wrong at the time. The mistake I made was hugging my son, who was diagnosed with Covid a few days later. I have held my hands up about making a mistake in relation to that, but it has never changed my opinion of me and others being safe and responsible.

Boris has lifted restrictions to get the Brexit economy

Was in Windsor last week and travelling down there were very few people with masks on; including the underground even though it's supposed to be compulsory still on TFL. Possibly about 20%.
Was in Cardiff this week, and there were slightly more people with masks on the trains, but but that many maybe 30%. Even moving around the hotel most people were not wearing them when the signs said it was the law.
Both journeys felt quieter than before the pandemic started.
Personally, I wore it more than didn't. The underground saw me bring out my FP2!!
I'm genuinely not concerned with it either way, but the one thing I simply do not understand is the people who have a mask on under their chin; why? If you don't want to wear it - don't!
