No more masks, no more mandatory work from home, no more proof of -ve test or vaccine to get into some places. Seems only isolation if testing +ve is the only rule left. PM's statement right now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-60046073 |

PM's statement right now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-60046073I've no doubt that Hospitals will carry on insisting on masks. Really can't see why public transport (buses and tube especially) don't keep a mask requirement. Hardly any great inconvenience to people and will continue to be helpful to the elderly and most at risk for another couple of months while Omicron gradually dies down. Can only see much of this as an ideological sop to the harder right backbenchers thinking of getting rid of him. He said he would "follow the science" but this does seem a bit premature and part of "operation save big dog" (who the fuck thought that one up?) |

Masks are pretty ineffective so should fit in well with the NHS philosophy of being well meaning and useless.
Most people I see getting on a bus wear the mask so as not to inconvenience the driver, then take it off when they sit down.
As said before, the fatality rate for covid is now at the highest it has been since March 2021, so what good all these jabs and lockdowns have done I do not know, although I am sure that someone will be along soon and explain it all.
