But even though I'm clearly not the greatest fan of masks, I don't really think that not wearing one when the virus is prevalent is wise. Unless of course you know you don't have the virus.

If you've been vaccinated there shouldn't be an issue. If you're not vaccinated that's your lookout.

Which had nothing to do with Plan B restrictions and was back in October.

Hope that helps.

Oh and for the record, I did wear a mask in the first round. I chose not to wear mask during Plan B, as the rules made no sense - whatsoever.

Re: Coronavirus

Bye bye to PlanB from Jan 26.

No more face masks
The end of working from home guidance.
The end of mandatory Covid certification.

As if any of that was ever going to stop Omicron. But we can't really say for sure.

It's clearly not needed any more. Don't really care if people choose to wear a mask if they feel that is safer for them, but it shouldn't be the law to.

Covid certification was meaningless when triple jabbed people could still spread the virus to others.

Working from home was the only one which was going to do anything, but that couldn't be applied to every situation could it?

The work from home actually ends today.

If you've been working at home successfully for 2 years and you're conversant with the right to flexible working laws, then it doesn't 😉

Looks like this thread is dying out, much like the virus.

Personal responsibility kept the vast majority of those who could doing so at 50k cases a day I wonder if there will be a rush back at 100k?

That would be between the employer and employee not a Government directive or reccommendation.

If employers find it better to have their employees working from home it will continue.

Well if the increased cases, hospitalisations and death from July to December are a price worth paying.

If the rhetoric about “mild” Omicron holds up then these countries will have played a blinder.

I do like the fact country comparisons are completely invalid except for the few weeks over two years England haven’t been as bad as the worst countries in the world. The ONS prevalence surveys certainly put England in that ballpark of infections.

Country comparisons are invalid because each country counts coronavirus cases differently. You have to have uniform procedures and criteria in place to make a proper comparison on numbers, and there are other factors as well to take into account, such as population density, poverty, etc, etc.

Re: Coronavirus

And obviously the most important factor being those that made the conscious choice to not mitigate spread and infect people in the hope of building immunity. That makes it really difficult for the propaganda machine to make favourable comparisons.
