I continue wearing my mask in busy public places like I have during the pandemic. There is no law telling me to wear one, but I will carry on until the deaths, hospitalisations and cases are a lot lower. I still avoid some venues at my discretion.
With 72% of the UK now jabbed, then there should be no need for a lockdown, though the figures are rising again for another wave.
// Case numbers are rising steeply again, with an estimated one in every 16 people infected in the week ending 19 March, according an infection survey by the Office for National Statistics. A highly-transmissible sub-variant of Omicron, called BA.2, is now causing most cases. //

// These 'deaths' figures may sound alarming, but we don't really know if covid was the actual cause or the final agent //
a friend's daughter who works in an ITU unit in the Home Counties recently posted an update on FB which included the following:-
"The number of people coming into the hospital with covid but not requiring ITU is encouraging. Far fewer people are getting seriously unwell with it now. We still have the odd covid patient around in ITU, but most of the positive patients in the hospital now are incidental findings as opposed to covid being their primary problem."

thrawn bezom = bezom drawn and ready to use?
Musheh - do you have any refs about anthropologists? they look at societies and cultures - have they ever looked at what anthropolosgists do? ie anthropology of anthropology? thx
and finally - covid vacca has without doubt broken the link between covid ITU and death - BUT covid is still around - as coldy-fluy stuff and not an old persons killa....
sozza to go off thread

//Over 300 deaths yesterday.//
Not in Scotland there weren’t. And in any case, how many of those “Covid” deaths were caused by Covid and not by something else (with the deceased just happening to test positive for Covid whilst being treated for another condition)? It is now widely accepted that at least 50% (and some reports suggest even more) of deaths attributed to Covid were not caused by the virus.
//…. sensible business's know there staff and customers.. especially vulnerable... don't want people coughing and sneezing over them.//
You’ve mentioned this time and again bob. And I keep asking: where do you go that people cough and sneeze all over you. I cannot recall anybody, ever, coughing and sneezing over me, especially not in the last two years.
//If masks help even by only 10% it's worth it IMO. who knows what Scotland rates would of been without masks//
The answer is “probably about the same”. The age-old (well, at least two year old) mantra: “What would have happened if we hadn’t done x, y or z?” The answer is we don’t know because no proper analysis has been done to test the efficacy of inappropriate face coverings worn incorrectly and treated wrongly (which is what 99% or wearers do to a greater or lesser degree). What is apparent is that the spread of the virus in England (where masks are not mandated and few people wear them) is considerably lower than in Scotland, so there is a “control” of sorts to use as a comparison and the results are plain to see.
The plain fact is that little, If anything other than complete isolation from all other people, will prevent the virus from spreading and wearing an ill-fitting’ flimsy face covering certainly won’t. It’s blindingly obvious from the figures. Countries that have adopted a “zero Covid” strategy are now finding, to their cost, that it was never going to succeed. Everybody will be exposed the SARS-Cov-2 virus, probably many times in their lives. Walking around with an ill-fitting mask is utterly pointless.
//I continue wearing my mask in busy public places like I have during the pandemic.//
But to what purpose? It was largely accepted that the benefits of face coverings (as little as they were) were only for people around the wearer and not the wearer himself. Since so very few people are now wearing face coverings you are not gaining that benefit. For that matter neither are those around you because there are so many unmasked people around them. If you want to protect yourself then by all means invest in an FFP3 mask and wear it as per the instructions for the foreseeable future. Wear anything else and you're wasting your time:

Its all getting nuts. You would have thought by now that the penny would have dropped about this virus.
There are many on my local face book page demanding that people respect other peoples space. I've asked many times how they propose people do that, with very little response.
I have suggested that they wear a red flag on their head when out and about so I can cross the road should I see them appearing in the distance.
It didn't go down very well.

Indeed, Sandra. There was an article in the press today explaining that friends and relatives of students graduating from Imperial College, London, are not permitted to attend the ceremony. I've just read the "Terms & Conditions" imposed on those who can attend:

To save you the trouble of looking it up, it insists on social distancing, face coverings and proof of a negative Covid test. I don't know of any venue in England (possibly the UK, though I'm no so familiar with the rules in the other nations) where a negative Covid test is required as a condition of entry. This "precautionary" principle needs to cease.

I would imagine that most of the current hospitalisations and deaths are people that haven't been vaccinated. (If anyone's got stats on that I'd be interested to see them).
I'm glad the rest of us
in England are not being forced to wear masks to try and protect them. I choose not to, but I'd follow the rules if they changed here.
