Can I Burn My Face Masks Next Thursday?

Since face masks have been shown to be largely useless in preventing the spread of the Omicron variant (and probably scarcely any better with the earlier variants) can we be sure this ridiculous measure will not be considered again in the event of another flare-up?

//Worn properly, good face masks are a viable preventative measure.//
I quite agree. Get an FFP2 (said to capture 94% of airborne particles in both directions) or FFP3 (99%) facemask, wear and treat it correctly and it will protect you as well as everybody else. An added benefit of this is that those who choose to wear them have no need to insist everybody else does. The difficulty is that virtually nobody wears and treats their face coverings properly and those that many people wear are largely useless even if they did. The comparison with trained and disciplined medical staff wearing and using medical grade masks correctly is therefore not valid.
I have no hidden agenda. My opinion (roughly on the lines as above) is open and has been consistent throughout the pandemic. Enforcing the use of face coverings when a piece of thin, damp rag worn for days on end, dropped on the floor or stuffed in a pocket complies with the legislation is simply nonsense. It is a placebo measure and forcing the population to do something that has no benefits is not only absurd but a gross violation of liberties.

I doubt very much anyone will take much notice of what Boris tells us to do, ( that's even if he hangs in there) What Boris don't realize is the damage he's done in respect of law and order regarding any sort of further restrictions. If an PM shows how to be lawless, and try and get away with it, then he's made it all most impossible for those that are left with the job of implementing such.
