yougov also repeatedly reports that x% of the UK population want COVID-19 restrictions to continue indefinitely, along with the closure of nightclubs. You'll forgive me if I don't treat yougov as the main source of UK sentiment
If you can tell me under what exact conditions it ends, then we can have a discussion about it. Until then, and in absence of incontrovertible proof that it saves a single life, I'm out.
The absence of proven benefits is the issue. It is unscientific to mandate behaviour without proven benefit.
The issue for me, and I'm reading it in a lot of these comments is that there is no endgame. The times I've been asked "where is your mask?" I've never had an empirical answer to "when does it stop?"
Key takeaway is "mask requirement dropped". Everyone should feel free to protect themselves. Just don't mandate that other people do things to protect you.
Almost wetting myself with laughter watching communities tear themselves apart trying not to offend anyone.
A hard rain is gonna fall when people realise that you can't expect or demand everyone to address you however you would like to be addressed, much less take it as an attack when it doesn't happen.
