When will we be free of masks?

[Claraviolet]

I know that's it's for our own protection and all.
Still, it's kinda tiring to wear mask all the time. Sometimes, it's even suffocating and yet we can't take it off and it's against the rules here. So, do you think we will ever be free of these face masks?
If so, how much time do you think it will take? (COVID related discussion)

Not until end of next year I think lol I know what you mean though we have to wear them in shops and stuff but I work in a residential care home and have to wear one 11 out of the 12 hour shifts it's the best feeling taking that mask off after such long hours wearing it, xD

I think masks will be part of our routine for one more year. And after that maybe or maybe not, we would be able to see the strong vaccine. Till then we just have to survive and see the better part of the life. It is not easy so make sure to focus on the positive part as of now.

I don't really know.  I mean, the whole thing seems like some kind of government control conspiracy.  Anyone else think so?

They'll likely still be recommended for a few years yet, but hopefully they'll stop being mandatory soon enough.. Possibly as early as next summer?

I personally *hate* wearing a mask, which I do even though I'm technically exempt due to a health condition.

I don't wear them anyway since I'm exempt from wearing them and so I walk into the store and not need to worry about it. End of the day they can't force you and they don't bother you. I do get people looking at me at times but they are not fussed. Feels weird that walking around the store and everyone else is wearing them. People are fed up anyway and most people want to do what they want to do and get out and live there lives and not worrying about others.

FOr the UK I think it be a good long six months of this. If not till there are resuilts out.

It is looking like it will be different for different places. I am guessing most places, if not all, will be 100% mask free by next fall. Yeah, that is a year away. People are trying to drag this out. I get being safe and all but it is getting ridiculous.

When there is a viable and widely available vaccine there'll be no further need for masks, until then get used to it. The mask you wear might stop you from killing someone. Its not a lot to ask to save lives.

Wearing of mask isn't a big deal now. It's only at the hospital that you see wearing of mask taken very serious. I can't remember the last time I wore one and I'm not planning to do so.

Crazy to think people are still wearing masks but I understand the fear. I think it just makes more sense to wear one if you ARE sick, not to prevent yourself from getting sick. That never made any sense. Japan has been doing this for awhile. If you are sick and go out, it is like a kind thing to wear a mask and keep your germs to yourself.
