Most normal people don't accuse people of loving masks, like it being a religion to them, talk about how they're obsessed with them.
Most normal people aren't wearing them anymore, so it's hardly a surprise that in a thread about mask wearing, normal people might speculate as to why on earth they are choosing to keep up the charade. mike80 said:
This is great news!I feared we'd be stuck with the pointless posturing on aircraft for ever, now one has done it, perhaps others will start being brave.
Cloth masks allow 90% of particles to filter through giving them little ability to prevent COVID transmission, study finds

Well, who'd a thunk it?

Worth noting that we're now 5 weeks since the mask mandate was 'recklessly' dropped, again. Doesn't seem to have made a jot of difference.
Still, it didn't the last time it was 'recklessly' dropped either.
Or when it was brought in...
Come on Ari, confounding factors man, you know the drill. Those clever confounding factors which always combine to exactly oppose the effect of the introduction or removal of mask mandates Still, it didn't the last time it was 'recklessly' dropped either.
Or when it was brought in...

And very sad to witness.
I had to go to a garden centre today. It has a lovely big cafe/restaurant so went in for a coffee. I would guess that 50% or so put on a mask when walking to or from their table, but none had them on whilst sitting. Most were elderly but there were enough middle aged doing it too.
Hardly anyone wore them once they’d left the restaurant, even though they were inside the internal shop section of the garden centre in a space very similar to the restaurant itself.
These people have been brainwashed and it’s incredibly sad to see.
There is no logic whatsoever. It's just people blindly following orders that don't even exist anymore. I had to go to a garden centre today.

Bizarre behaviour.

No, sorry but there is no logic in sitting in a busy eating space then masking up when you stand. That makes no sense.
My MIL does it, wears a mask in some scenarios, but not in others. There is no logic at play at all. And my stepmother openly states she only wears one in supermarkets because other people do (she shops at booths).
They'll come round eventually though I hope as they look like lunatics.
Precisely. My MIL does it, wears a mask in some scenarios, but not in others. There is no logic at play at all. And my stepmother openly states she only wears one in supermarkets because other people do (she shops at booths).

I agree that some may be doing it for 'comfort' or whatever, but there's no logic to it.
It's like religion, many people derive comfort from it, but you can't argue any kind of logical case for believing in it.
This guy never came back on to the show to explain why his assurances that his studies would show proof of the benefits of school children wearing masks, and that children would not be wearing them 'a day longer than necessary' turned out to be completely untrue.
The study was published a couple of days later, it showed no benefits, and kids were made to continue wearing them anyway.
What a joke this mask business has all been.

Family at work yesterday, mum, dad and daughter, got out of their car in the car park, all masked up in what were clearly the home made type, mum and daughters masks were huge and far to big for their face (they looked ridiculous), dad came in to the building masked up to briefly chat to my colleague, mum and daughter remained outside, masked up had a quick look around a car outside and then left, didn't remove their masks once despite being outside the whole time.
There's something fundamentally wrong with the way that the government (and MSM to some extent) wound up the fear into people like this to such a fever pitch over the course of two years that this is the result. Yet are doing nothing whatsoever to deescalate that fear and help these people return to normality. 21st Century Man said:
We've had several hundred people on site today, I saw only two people masked up. I take several large groups of people on tours throughout the day and not a single mask today on any of them. Meanwhile all the staff are masked up as it's company policy (except me, I decided to stop wearing one today, I've had comments but I've not been formally challenged). A few visitors have asked me why the staff are masked up when clearly nobody else on site is, they say it looks odd, particularly outside amongst hundreds of unmasked people.
What is their logic for that, given that government advice is no longer to insist on this, and clearly they are allowing hundreds of unmasked people on site? (What sort of site is it, by the way?)James6112 said:
It’s all over folks, thanks to the vaccines & the sensible majority.
The fruitloops better find something else to whinge about
Let's hope so. I'm not ruling out another 'masks on everyone, there's a scary new variant!!' however, look at the initial fuss over Omicron, despite all the evidence pointing to it being mild. A lot of people don't seem to want to let this go... The fruitloops better find something else to whinge about
I think they'll be around on aircraft for a good while yet too, annoyingly.

Quite right. Been happy to do my bit, but the infection rate where I am in the North is thankfully now well below 200 so I have pretty much stopped wearing masks unless in an environment where they are still required. Still do a LFT before seeing older relatives.
If people who still believe they made a difference are finally managing without them then that's real progress. Well done.
