my feelings of wearing a face mask during the cornavirus outbreak

I'm sure this topic is on every bodies mind at the moment. It can be difficult to work out what is right and wrong when it comes to the current pandemic. It has been very difficult for everybody and it is great that we are starting to get through it and live a normal life again. Boris Johnson has been great and he has helped his country to come through this situation. I think he should deserve a medal for what he's done for our country. I am sure we all couldn't thank him enough.

I understand that as from tomorrow (Friday) the government has advised that we should all be wearing face masks in shops and when we are at a close distance to each other. He said you will be fined if you refuse to wear the mask then you will be fined under his guidance by the police.

I don't agree in wearing the masks this far in to the current pandemic. I don't think it is a good enough solution to stop the virus now that the current restrictions have been eased for everybody in England and I'm sure it is the same in there countries too. The six reasons I think face masks are pointless are listed below:

1) Face masks don't stop the spread of the cornavirus and the particles can still be let free through the mask which could be more harmful than wearing a mask it's self and your also contaminating your self when your touching your mask which means you are able to spread your germs to other people.

2) If you are not wearing The correct type of mask it can be more harmful to you then wearing a mask it's self. This can be because it can be poorly fitted and not a decent enough grade to protect you against the virus which means it would be pointless for you to even wear the mask.

3) We have come through the other side of the virus. It is nearly over now and everybody is getting on with life following the social distancing rules so I don't think a mask is going to be making much difference at this point in time.

4) People may struggle to breath in the masks. Sometimes people have no health conditions but they struggle to breath when there's something around there mouth. I am sure this would affect there health and it could even affect there future in one way or another.

5) Face masks haven't been known to make a difference at all during the cornavirus outbreak so I'm sure wearing them now is not going to change this static. I think people should be given a chance weather or not to wear them to give people a more freedom of choice.

6) The last reason is unless everybody is going to be forced to wear the masks and the police are strict about it the plan is not going to work as some people will spread it to others and we will be in the same place again.

These are my 5 reasons why I've not chosen to wear a face mask. I think I have strong reasons and I will be holding by these reasons for the rest of the pandemic till it's over. This is my personal opinion and I am sure many people are going to have different views about the situation. I think we are all in this together as a group. It has been our journey to fight together. I couldn't thank the NHS enough for everything they have done for us. We should all be proud of our country. Keep clapping for the NHS and show them how much they mean to you!
