I have absolutely no intention of wearing a mask for a minute longer than I have to.
With luck all mask-wearing will be voluntary only when Plan B is reviewed.

BREAKING: France records largest daily record for new Covid-19 cases in 24 hours. 464,000+
So much for all those restrictions and requirements for Covid passes.

Re: Coronavirus
And so much also for those earlier comments that the UK is doing so much worse than other equivalent EU countries. While those countries are panicking now and considering even more loss of freedoms, we can now look forward to getting back to normal.

Me neither. I'll wear one when it's legal but that's out of obligation, if I had more expensive masks i'd maybe feel that they were more useful but they aren't worth the money when a bit of cloth is much cheaper, it's a temporary measure, and they only work when you have the virus anyway.
I really don't mind if people choose to wear one after the measures expire. If they think it is safer for them or they have a cold or something which might protect others, then that is down to them (the only time I wore a mask when it wasn't mandatory was when I went for some cold medicine). But I don't see how general mask wearing by members of the public who don't have the virus helps anything and makes matters worse in other areas.

If only they’d run out of tests.

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.

Re: Coronavirus
I have been going to a bereavement group, and nearly everyone there lost a family member through Covid, one woman and her mother have lost 5 members.
So people who say it's just a cold need a good kicking.

Was with you until the last sentence, then I'm sorry to say you loose all sympathy. If we went round giving a good kicking to everyone who doesn't share our views what would the world be like?

If Hom3r has lost someone to covid I think he can be forgiven for the sentiment, as long as he doesn't do in practice.

Re: Coronavirus
Whilst obviously any death is a sad thing especially for those close to that person, such things do realistically need some point of perspective in regards to the circumstances.
And even though people are still dying of/with covid with the omicron variant, whether due to the vaccination or previous infection, or if it is actually milder (which UKHSA seem to think it is) by most accounts, those who are infected now, do tend to have milder cold/flu like symptoms and not anything more severe.
Whilst it clearly wasn't true before vaccination, and potentially may still not be in unvaccinated people, for most people the illness is unlikely to progress past this stage.
People do still occasionally get severe illness and complications from flu and other viruses. Whilst evidently anything regarding someone dying is emotive for those who are close to them, in the current situation, the comment probably isn't disproportionate.

I haven't worn a mask at all during these restrictions and have never been questioned.

Considering you can self-declare exemptions (which it is illegal to challenge) then in reality that's not too surprising.
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.
