I think I probably will for a while anyway especially in busy places.
We used to laugh at tourists wearing masks in London pre-pandemic, who is laughing now

I think I will. It will be so strange when the restrictions end but it will take me a long time to trust the hygiene of others
I'm not a hugger so quite happy to maintain the 2m rule for strangers for ever

Same, I love atm when you go to shops or where ever everyone is moving out each others way and space invaders are a thing of the past (or if someone does get too close you have a good reason to move away)

I don't think we will view social interactions the same again. I can certainly see me wearing a mask if im in a confined space like a plane or the tube

If it ever really is, yes I think so in certain places.

I would love to wear one on planes actually. I hate it when someone near you starts coughing and now it's acceptable to wear a mask I might just do that

If it became the norm to wear masks when we're ill with the regular type of illnesses, it would do a lot to halt the spread of things like cold and flu, nevermind stuff like Covid.
I will probably try to wear a mask whenever I'm feeling rough when all this is said and done and i'll probably keep to the same habits of wearing a mask for a while after the pandemic comes to an end just to be safe. |

I don't this this pandemic will ever be over , even when things get back to normality we'll still be hearing about Covid kicking around . And I think people well most people will be cautious still .

I remember being on a plane during the swine flu pandemic and someone wearing a mask, think it will become common place for a while anyway

News from the last few days (not being trumpeted loudly even though its important... But I guess the reason is obvious) is that catching & recovering from Covid, even with very mild symptoms, is just as effective as the vaccines at giving lasting immunity (90%) so one way or another yes it will be over... Really the vaccines vs infections race is now about what damage is done in the meantime in terms of avoidable deaths, swamped health services, etc.

My brother and his family had it and he was told 12 weeks. How long does the vaccine give you

In theory though, if it does "get away from us", it makes a very strong case for vaccinating the elderly and vulnerable first which I think is indeed what most places are doing. Also immunity doesn't mean a "Covid passport" because I believe they think that immune people who are exposed (both vaccinated and natural immunity) can still potentially pass it on to others... So social distancing measures etc. can't really end until we're sure that there's a high level of immunity in the population. The major benefit with this though, is that we can still achieve the levels needed for herd immunity even if there's a large percentage who refuse the vaccine, which was a worry before. |
