I was in England last week of December and no one but a handful of tourists were wearing masks, so it probably will not make much of a difference. I was only asked once for a vaccination card. Stark difference when coming from California.
- thehappypm 5y agoI long for a mask-free future. I have always hated wearing them. I’m not a child, so I still wear them, but gosh I’m jealous of the English right now.
- mikecoles 5y agoNot a child? Are you speaking of the exception to the mandates for children? Otherwise, it's usually children that have to abide by arbitrary rules without having the power to question them,.
- YXNjaGVyZWdlbgo 5y agoI guess he is wearing them because of rules that are in place in his country instead of throwing a hissy fit every time he goes shopping because of fReEdOm.
- thehappypm 5y agoYeah, lots of man-childs in the USA.
- nojokes 5y agoThe opposite of a child is an adult. An adult can understand a purpose of some measure and follows it without throwing a tantrum even when it is not most convenient.
- YXNjaGVyZWdlbgo 5y agoI like them good masks like the 3m aurora provide a good breathing experience and they protect you from seasonal flue as well. Added benefit now in winter they even keep your face warm I am going to join the Asian countries and will wear a mask from late autumn to early spring... covid or not.
- nojokes 5y agoI also find these masks very comfortable. Are you using FFP2 masks?
- multjoy 5y agoI'm English and I'm not. It's a short sighted bid by a PM who's dying on his arse to try and keep support from his lunatic 'covid sceptic' backbenchers. Masks are a simple and effective way of keeping down community transmission and it is a ridiculous stance to take when case loads remain high. I will continue to wear a mask.
- thehappypm 5y agoGo for it.
