Choose your masks
July 6, 2021•134 words
Face coverings will be optional in the UK from 19th July 2021. That is, perhaps1, reasonable: the rules have to be relaxed sometime, summer is better than winter, school holidays is better than term time.
But, given the trivial inconvenience of wearing a mask, and given how effective they are, anyone who cares about other people at all will obviously continue to wear one. And that is what competent people are saying.
Rishi Sunak won't, of course. And he's happy to say that in public, even though he must know this will reduce mask wearing in general, and kill people. Because Rishi Sunak, along with the rest of the Johnsonists, very obviously does not care about the little people.
