I was thinking about this, I've not stopped wearing them. Shops, train, tube. Most folk commuting still wear them so it feels a bit off not to.

One of my favourite curry memories was a mate at uni powering through a vindaloo insisting he could handle it as he half hung off his chair, sweating profusely, barely able to speak 

I never go above madras

I never do above madras usually either. 

Anyway just had it. Could taste the spice not the lamb or owt else, eye watering. Tongue still on fire now. 

It's an ace feeling after 3 days of nothingness 

Hopefully it kicks on and brings my senses back.

Good luck with masks on the train to accy & back

Nothing wrong with masks in my opinion. Of all the restrictions imposed on us, it has the least impact on our daily life.

Reviewing it a week before Christmas 

Oh fuck off

Not a great imposition in the scheme of things.

BioNTech, the company behind the Pfizer jab says it will know in 2 weeks if the new strain will require a new vaccine.... mmm now what odds would you get at Ladbrokes? 

[Winchester White]

Anti maskers are almost as bad as Anti vaxxers, just fuck off you attention seeking fucktards

AZ have already said it will be an easy update if required.

So as cases rise over the last couple of months to a daily level of between 30  and 40 thousand and deaths also increased, nothing, no restrictions, no mask wearing, nothing. Two cases of a new variant and red list re appears, masks become mandatory in shops ect and new travel restrictions, including PCR testing. Over reaction? what happened to freedom day .

Common belief is that government has been slow to react on occasions. 2 cases will inevitably mean more are already here.

A temporary uplift in restrictions by means of a mask whilst they get more understanding of the new variant is hardly the end of the world. 

Doing nowt then finding out the current vaccines aren't overly effective against it would potentially lead to more restrictions for longer.

We've been having the best of things for a while now, certainly when looking at other similar nations. Asking us to wear a mask in a shop is no hardship. Don't have to wear one in the boozer etc.

Whitty isn't overly concerned about omicron it seems, so a brief period of precautionary measures is fine.

But they are going to have a revenue stream anyway producing boosters so the longevity of income for them and other manufacturers is guaranteed until/if we ever eradicate it which is questionable

Sorry but nowt to see her mate

Aye. Only like different flu vaccines.

Wearing mask isn’t an issue but I do hope that’s not the thin edge of the wedge and it’s the start of new restrictions. 

[ErnestTurnip]

Is it not a nonsense of incredible proportions that I will have to wear a mask to go in Tesco for a bag of Wotsits but then walk out of there and be able go into 6 rammed pubs with no mask and onto an indoor gig with 1999 other unmasked people?

Cases in the U.K. have been pretty consistent over the last 3 months. Cases in Europe have shot up. When was the European freedom day? Cases in Spain are also on the increase. What day do you want to bet that Spain will overtake the U.K.?  I’ll bet you 50p (U.K. pence) that Spain will overtake the U.K. before Christmas.

Aye. To be fair to bumblecunt and the government, it seems they've  acted a quickly as possible this time. 

And masks are a piece of piss.

Freedom day was utterly stupid messaging by this incompetent cabinet and a dickhead PM. However, the science was/is sound according to many (not all). By freeing up in summer and allowing a reasonably consistent amount of cases spreading we start to build up an immunity (together with the vaccines) that will allow us to better cope with the winter pressures on the NHS.

I really hope this works

Presumably there’s an official exemption for train cans. Works for me.
