To go out without masks and not social distance, I still go with wearing my mask and all that goes with it, this morning however I went out and no one had masks on and the pharmacy had taken down the barriers and the assistance didn't have masks on either. |

I’ve not been out much because of the heat but when I do go in somewhere I wear my mask. Even though I have asthma I choose to wear one. |

I think people forget or don't want to know how bad it is and think life is back to normal when in truth it isn't and won't be for a very long time. |

I don't see any reason for NOT wearing a mask. They don't interfere with anything and I think everyone should wear one. Anyone who says they can't breathe wearing one could get a face shield. I have one that is not thin and flimsy but made of the same sort of material as motorbike goggles and covers your whole face. It is so easy to wear that I sometimes forget I'm wearing it and try to wipe my eyes or blow my nose. Even my doctor said he thought it was great. |

But just look at how little flu there was last winter. That has to be down to mask wearing. The trouble is that not everyone has been wearing them. I'm sure that if 100% of the population wore a mask the numbers would soon start falling. |

With respect I think people are putting what they want over the safety and well-being of the nation. |

I know people in the UK fully vaccinated and still caught Covid badly; but not enough to be in the hospital. Knowing those people I know they weren't wearing masks. |

What are people finding difficult to get to grips with, wear a mask, by doing so you are less likely to be hospitalised and you also help others to stay safe, don't wear one and you are in effect spreading the virus thus making others ill, or worse. |

Just seen this and am amazed at the opening post. ZZzzz has had a very different experience to me. Yesterday I went to the chiropodist, a supermarket and 3 pharmacies and they were all operating the same restrictions as previously. I only saw one person without a mask in the supermarket and she may have been exempt. Everyone was distancing. I would have expected people round here to be a bit blasé as we haven’t been too badly hit by Covid but everyone still seems to be taking care. |

Vera - perhaps the reason why your area hasn't been too badly hit by Covid is, like you say - most people are wearing masks and being careful. It's what everyone should be doing. |
