They can’t. If approached by a policeman, you simply say I am exempt as it gives me anxiety - and that is it, conversation over the police cannot do anything.



Scientists in agreement? You sure about that? Some are some aren’t.

But in regards to measures, it is the government where the buck stops.
I think the majority of scientists are in agreement like i said.

And if people choose not to wear a mask where you're legally required to because they're 'making a protest' then fair enough, but they should at least have the balls to admit why they're doing it rather than lie and say it's due to a medical issue.

Principles it would appear, only extend to individuals until there's a financial implication.

Maybe they just don’t want to wear one?

I don’t see why?

If there were any principles mask mandates wouldn’t have been reintroduced.

We all have to do things we might not want to in life. It is all part of being in a society where there are others to think about instead of yourself. Far too many selfish people out there

Do as you’re told, even when you can see the rules don’t make sense, are not based on evidence and are just an edict from the government.

Plenty of evidence masks work.
You just want your own way. Something else we all want but some will stamp their feet and cry if someone tells them they have to do different

Yeah cuz we just lost a war had our economy crippled by the enemy forcing us to pay massive reparations and we have a charismatic leader who we trust so we follow him

See the blatant differences between the 1930s and now????

The rules do make sense its just the muppets who don't give a toss about anyone else that are the problem.

Please, and I mean please, do tell me how this makes sense?

I’d be interested to hear the scientific evidence that says masks in shops - reduces transmission, masks in pubs - makes no difference, not required.

It doesn’t, because it’s inconsistent - it should be like before, wearing masks except when at the table to minimise infection; we can’t totally eradicate risk (if we want to keep pubs and restaurants open), but we should try to reduce the risk to others.

Quote:
When people wear face masks to reduce the spread of the coronavirus, the number of new COVID-19 infections drops by 53%, according to a new study published Thursday in the British Medical Journal.

It’s not all or nothing, it’s about identifying, managing, and reducing risk.

The war I was referring to was WWI. The reparations were what Germany had to pay the allies and the charismatic leader was Hitler. I know the history well enough ta

The differences between then and now are obvious. We have not lost a war we are not paying reparations and well Boris innit

Why? What evidence do you have this course of action is required at this stage?

It’s not all or nothing, it’s about identifying, managing, and reducing risk.
What is the risk? Has it been measured and quantified?
