Masks Should Continue ‘Forever’
Michie, a 41-year member of the British Communist Party, is known for her controversial views on mask mandates during the COVID pandemic.During an interview with Channel 5 News, she appeared to suggest that people should wear masks forever.
“And the third thing is people’s behavior. That is, the behavior of social distancing, of … making sure there’s good ventilation [indoor], or if there’s not, wearing face masks, and [keeping] hand and surface hygiene,” she said. “We will need to keep these going in the long term, and that will be good not only for COVID but also to reduce other [diseases].”
“I think forever, to some extent,” she replied when she was asked to define the words “long term.”
Her main point is changing people’s behavior and making people get used to wearing face masks so they can put on and off the mask without any mental resistance during COVID or another pandemic, she explained.
“I think it’s a good idea to keep these behaviors that we can turn on or off as needed,” she said.
