Equally people who don’t want to wear masks should not look down and judge those that want to continue for whatever reasons.Just because people choose to remain a little cautious and continue to wear masks in whatever capacity or setting, it does NOT mean they want to stay in their house nor does it mean they do not want to enjoy life.
They’re not stopping anyone ‘enjoying their life’ so not quite sure why you say ‘let the rest of us enjoy life again’.

There's quite a bit of backlash against this lady and her videos - most notably for her lack of suit (someone like her who is highly trained not wearing one vs someone who isn't for example!)
That's very interesting. I knew someone who died after an adverse reaction to a bee-sting (she was a novice bee-keeper) so I'd be wary of anyone untrained dealing with bees unprotected. Foolish if people are advocating this.
I think most people who are happy to shed the masks don't care if people want to continue wearing one.Comments like these make me

However there have been floods of memes and tweets about "if you don't wear a mask you don't care for others" "masks protect others not the wearer so by not wearing one you're a dick" etc.
That can happen to anyone though. My SIL is allergic to bee stings, but unlike those walking around with masks for covid he doesn't wear a beekeepers outfit "just in case"
Common sense should now prevail
Equally there are many memes and tweets and comments calling people who want to wear masks sheep, bed wetters, ‘scared ones’ … the list goes on.
Non mask wearers are now the granny killers.
Granny should have got her double jab
I don’t care if people carry on wearing them, if it makes them feel safer, or if they are doing the right thing, it is entirely their choice and none of my business.
I won’t be wearing one apart from public transport maybe (don’t use pub transport at the mo), but I don’t want a mask wearer to castigate me in public for not wearing one, which I am slightly wary of, but not enough for me to wear one after it has been mandated it is not compulsory.

I think once I’ve read statistics that the numbers of cases are going down in my area, and once Mark Drakeford has given us a plan on what we’re doing next as a Country x
That has been the case since the start though, a small number of people banded those who wore masks and followed the rules as sheep which although that has negative connotations isn't a personal attack on someone.
It is now the government are removing the legal requirement to wear a mask that people who are willing to drop them, are being judged for doing something that they legally are allowed to do as "uncaring" "selfish" etc.
I am pro choice. I don't care if people wear boots and jumpers in summer, but you will never catch me doing it. Likewise once masks aren't legally required I will never wear one again, but I won't stop or judge anyone who chose otherwise. But I feel that that isn't mutual to most people who are still pro-mask
Again you don’t speak for the whole population so you cannot possibly know what people really feel and whether they judge or not because they are pro mask.
You are obsessed with ‘the whole population’. No we can’t ask the whole population but I know a fair few people through family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances etc and the vast majority I have spoken to have said they won’t be wearing masks any longer
No I don't
But the barrage of abuse towards people who are happy to de-mask is ridiculous and far more personal than the comments towards those happy to keep masks.
I would rather be called a sheep than be told I am a selfish, uncaring, germ spreading granny killer
I am making a point that just because you see a minority making comments on social media it does not mean everyone feels that way or will act that way. I can also say that I know many that will continue to wear masks. Just because you or others you know feel a certain way it does not mean that EVERYONE or the majority does.
And again I will also say the nasty name calling and comments towards people who want to remain cautious and wear masks or whatever is just as present.
I didn't say it wasn't. But if someone called me a bed wetter I would laugh at them. If someone called me a sheep I would baa at them.
The comments and naming calling is far more personal towards those willing to stop makes. That's the point I am making.
Being called a murderer is far more personal and offensive than being called a sheep
personally Iv found people that are pro-lockdown and pro-mask etc.. to be much more aggressive and insulting towards those who oppose it. I don’t mean people online hiding behind anonymous names and pictures, I mean people I know irl and the general public that I have experienced.
Bit like hard core woke lefties.
