Face masks and working from home ‘could be introduced by midAugust’ amid rising Covid cases.

Les Hodgson: Well we already have our freedom since stay home was lifted, but yeah we need safety as well. Hands face space best thing started, cos jabs don’t work properly, so cant be relied upon exclusively.

Peter Kirby: Doesn't surprise me, there's always a price for freedom.

Stacey Brown: Removal of masks should never have been part of easing the restrictions.

Terry Crangle: Never, I would never of guessed that, just wait till the cold weather arrives, lockdown all through the winter, if you catch a cold the government will tell you to isolate" it's here to stay people, wake up.

Gary Cairns: It says could, not it will happen, nobody knows until the time comes.

Jack Huntley: Just get on with it learn to live with it.

Glyn Dixon: People won’t take any further restrictions.

Henry Oliver: They're that brainwashed now, I'm pretty sure most will.

Stephen Fox: Oh look the same time frame and same events as last year pretty much. July, open things up, last year eat out to help out etc, no masks. August, the government may as well have said "you naughty people haven't been doing as you're told with all that freedom we gave you, were going to make you wear masks and introduce tougher measures, then a few months down the line were going to lock you all down again" this is happening pretty much the same time frame and same pattern as last year! Queue the lockdown in October "lockdown now to save Xmas", then "lockdown Xmas to save summer 2022" etc etc.

Tracey Collins: So the vaccines are a fail then, so many false hopes and promises we are all flaming guinea pigs.

Michael Harnett: Then October then winter then March etc etc.

Kathleen Gray: Now that's a surprise not.
