| No masks…..awful…utter disgrace. 21:36 - Aug 28 with 8873 views | Chondzoresk |
Just came back from Jolly Chondzoresks day out in Yarmouth, I have to say I’m utterly shocked. Shops with signs saying “please wear a mask”….then going in and finding out of the 10/15 or so people inside, only my missus and I were wearing masks in a small area. Staff not wearing masks, staff not bothering to enforce wearing masks. Social distancing? Doesn’t apply in Yarmouth. Hand sanitisers? Many shops we visited had empty hand sanitisers.
Overall we felt we were the odd ones out actually wearing masks. I won’t be going back anytime soon. Be warned if you are off there soon. I know rules have changed, but you feel things are just so laxed. I think this Autumn and Winter is going to bite hard with this virus.

Do you wear a mask at the football, for the whole 90 minutes? |
Not when seated, eating or drinking. |  |

Flu jabs are given to the most vulnerable, which is a good idea. Covid jabs are given to everyone, or at least the sensible ones, as it spreads easier and also has more long term impact.
Do you know anyone who had Flu last winter? Have you wondered why not? The answer is because we were all wearing masks.
One in three people testing positive show no symptoms. To reduce the spread it really is important that in shops and other enclosed spaces everyone wears a mask. It really should not be a personal choice. One of the reasons it isn’t obligatory is the mistaken belief you can generate herd immunity by passing it on to friends and family. Unfortunately some will die but that isn’t your problem as you know you are healthy and strong enough to recover if you catch it.
Stop being a sheep. |
You are more than partly correct with the Flu and mask situation last winter.
Add in the fact that international travel was "non existent" so viruses like flu were not able to travel internationally and via people sat close together on planes, you have 99% of the reason. |  | | |

No you don't.
Air transport is 1% of the reason Flu was low.
The 99% is mask wearing, hand washing and social distancing [Post edited 30 Aug 2021 11:29]

So you could in theory give covid to someone who is immediately in front of you or either side. You sitting near people for 90 minutes is probably more of spreader than me walking around a supermarket for ten minutes. Not trying to be argumentative but I just think it's something we have to live with now so let's just get on with things. |  | | |

Not accurate. It is established that being outside has a significant impact. | | | |

You are kind of being argumentative. But then you freely admit to 'giving up' on wearing a mask. But mask wearing indoors isn't about you is it? Its about others | |

If a graph was produced showing percentage of people not wearing masks it would probably be very similar to a graph showing the number of new cases.
No evidence to support this feel free to ignore. | |

Went to Clacton yesterday - barely anyone wearing masks there either. I am exempt but felt uncomfortable with so many crowds. We only stayed on the pier for 15 minutes and had to get out as I was on verge of a panic attack. The trains were ok, not too busy and masks on there and spaced out well. We mainly went for my visit to a record shop there, which we spent 2 hours in. |
Ah so it’s ok for you to be exempt and not wear a mask but it’s not ok for others not to wear a mask?
Does covid not infect the ones who are mask exempt |  |

Not Legal and I won't wear them now, 99% of the masks are point less and don't work anyway. |  |

the main point of masks is to protect others, especially those who are medically exempt who don't get the choice | |

I'll be perfectly honest, I've stopped wearing a mask now where I don't have to. |
Gotta be honest I still wear one in shops.
I don't see it as much of a disadvantage for such a small amount of time. If I'm on a train though I'll make sure I have a beer in my hand to overcome the mask.
Wouldn't wear one outside. [Post edited 31 Aug 2021 8:08]

The compliance has waned a lot quicker than i thought - in Norwich nearly everyone has stopped and it was one of the places that generally has been really really good the whole way along but it seems to have completely disappeared. Not really cared before about wearing them but feeling very much the weird one now. |  |

Would you care to list the “medical exemptions” for me and which ones actually stop people from wearing a mask for a few minutes and then tell me which ones are just being used as excuses or loopholes to allow people to get away with it? | |

I often wonder how many of the medical exempt are genuinely exempt, I guess we will never know.
One thing that I have often struggled with is that apparently the masks don't really protect yourself but they do protect others.
I think I will start wearing mine inside out. | |

I saw some people proud to not being in a mask, and they were thrilled to tell you about it. Clearly people who wanted to be a classic BMW driver but couldn't get beyond their BMX. |  |

Think you will find that not every exception is for a physical medical reason, some who suffer from anxiety are likely to panic if they are forced to wear a mask and GP will have approved exemption.
Not that anyone had to prove 3xemption their word being enough.
My wife was told you was exempt on medical grounds if decided not to wear a mask it would be OK but she chooses to wear one. | |

Agreed but it makes it more difficult to know if people really are exempt. Getting that way with Blue Badges, know people who have blagged a badge. | |
