Every time I post something about the Covid-19 pandemic it gets RETWEETs and LIKEs more than any other post… so let’s try this…
I am more than happy to wear a mask in enclosed spaces - shops, public transport, theatre, cinema etc - if it prevents any further lockdowns.

Why can’t ‘living with the virus’ involve masks and ventilation? Something I never understood about that narrative.

Thinking of those who died who did have serious health conditions - people whose lives still mattered, despite what headlines imply.
🔴 Only 59 fully vaccinated people without serious health conditions died from Covid-19 in England this year.
Here's the latest analysis from The Telegraph's Science Editor @sarahknapton 👇

📢! If you are 16 or 17 years old you can now self-register for an appointment at nhsinform.scot/vaccineregist… or visit any of our drop-in clinics that offer Pfizer.
Let's all do our part to keep each other, and ourselves, safe - if you can, please get vaccinated. #NotGivingIn

Monday thought: unpaid carers play such a crucial but undervalued role in our society. Parents to children with additional needs, children of elderly parents, those caring for loved ones who are ill or need support, & all the other groups. Respect and admiration for all they do.

I’m not against “opening up”, just please
- keep masks in shops & public transport to protect workers & vulnerable people
- ventilation to reduce risk in indoor spaces (eg schools, offices)
- vaccination +++
- test and isolate if symptoms
- sensible border controls

Number of times @BorisJohnson mentioned the immunocompromised, for whom the vaccine is unlikely to work as well, in this evening’s press conference = 0
“To those who say we should delay again, the alternative to that is to open up in winter… or not at all this year”
PM says final decision on easing lockdown in England will be taken on 12 July as he sets out his plans to give people "time to prepare"

Thinking of all the clinically vulnerable people now worried about where they can safely go. Freedom for the majority looks a lot like restriction for the minority.

Masks are annoying, but something really horrible about wanting to ditch a minor inconvenience over protecting other people. Ministers encouraging this are willingly endangering the lives of clinically vulnerable people and opening up anyone to life changing long covid.

There's no such thing as personal responsibility....
Because there are NO consequences for being a spreader.
And no consequences for breaching these rules.
(unless you were a woman or protesting to protect the environment or the discriminated against.)

Omg. Why are we back @BBCr4today at talking about face masks for protecting yourself rather than protecting others / community. This is what masks are for! We are 18 months into this pandemic!

Let’s keep the message simple to UKGOV: Vaccinate 12-18 year olds immediately and introduce adequate ventilation before reopening schools. Please RT if you support.

Learning to live with the virus is much like learning to live with this Tory Government…
An endless threat to your welfare thanks to idiots that think it’s harmless

The problem with “personal choice” over mask wearing is that your mask protects me and my mask protects you.
By making a “personal choice” you are in effect making a choice for me too.

If it avoids rising cases, people getting ill, another lockdown and helps businesses stay open -> doesn’t it make sense to keep face masks for indoor settings like shops & public transport, until we understand more about vaccine effectiveness in stopping transmission?

Robert Jenrick confirms on Sky that after 19 July (he hopes) masks will be voluntary. It seems he has never appreciated that masks are to protect other people, not the wearer. So now my well-being is not going to be protected by those who decide to be selfish. That’s Tory policy.
