I do that as well. I hate wearing them. Never did find a really comfortable mask & I spent pounds on the darn things.

Will you be able to keep social distancing though, if no-one is obliged to do so?

yes most of the time because I go out very little these days and when I do it is not to crowded places. I find since lockdown I have become less inclined to mix with people anyway . I step away if people come hear me.

The thought of spending weeks in hospital with covid unable to breath without oxygen is my worse nightmare unable to move staring at the ceiling
. The vaccine decreases the chance of severe covid in most vaccinated people, it does not eliminate the chance of being ill with covid for everyone particularly those with comorbidities.
I consider wearing a mask a small price to pay for providing what is logically a degree of protection.

, regardless of what some 'experts' say it is logical that a mask will catch droplets and mist emitting from both the mask wearer and people in the immediate area particularly if they are not wearing a mask .I wear a mask with disposable filters on the odd occasion when I mix with people.
