"Agree. If medical staff can wear one all shift then others should. Hubby is exempt but still wears one if he goes shopping. It's not like they stop you breathing. In some countries there's no such thing as exemption, you wear one or you stay in your own home" Should be like that here too. Lost count of how many times I've saw not just one maskless person in a shop but groups of them. They can't all be exempt and if they are which I highly doubt why are they all out together shopping in a group. I do maintain though there isn't a single condition that would someone unable to wear a mask for the duration of their shopping. | |||

I am her carer, which means I can't go to the shop for groceries without her. Don't make things more hard for disabled people than they already are by saying they should stay home if they can't wear a mask. Exemptions are there for a reason. | |||

"I have given up with customers! They dont keep their distance at all and as I work on shop floor as a home shopper they up and close all time it will b inevitable that I will get it! Just a case of when I suppose x" Don't give up. Your health is as important as theirs. This is what pisses me off. Self centred cunts! Stand up for yourself my love. | |||

"What really annoys me is the groups of people standing around in the park socialising, no social distancing, I’m in a tier 4 area, they are clearly not sticking to the meeting one person from another household rule and there are so many doing it no wonder we have a problem here." Spot on...the parks are busier then the shops lately. I think masks should be worn if this is as contagious as they are saying | |||

See, 12 months ago, if you were told that every one in the country would be controlled, not only by officialdom but also your friends, colleagues and neighbours, you'd have said impossible but here we are, rushing at the speed of Usain Bolt to be controlled and bullying others to do what they say is right.

I'm saying that shops should not allow anybody to enter unless they are wearing a mask in the same way they don't allow people to enter without wearing clothes. That's a ridiculous statement! There are various reasons some cant wear a mask! And should never b challenged! X Of course they should be challenged if it is a case of life or death. Are you saying it doesn't matter if someone doesn't wear a mask?" Of course if for whatever reason they are unable to ! X | |||

"its the masks issue for me. its draining seeing non mask wearers in my work. I think lanyards should be worn even if they are bought on ebay as chances are a group tradesmen wearing a lanyard is going to be less cool than wearing a mask. eating and drinking in the shop and even worse leaving it on shelves half eaten or d*unk. And finally people claiming plants or paint was needed for their mental well being allowing big companies to stay open and cash in. click and collect or deliverys is the safest way. I also hate that I am moaning on forums its not in my nature." So you now consider that disabled people should be publicly discriminated by wearing a lanyard?

"Of course everyone who *can* wear a mask *should* be doing so, and they should be wearing them properly as well as maintaining appropriate social distancing. Quite obviously there is a minority who *don't* wear masks (either at all, or correctly) even though they have no good reason not to and they deserve to be criticised for their selfishness. However, contrary to some people's belief there is also a minority of people who have genuine reasons for not wearing a mask, and it's utterly unfair and unkind to berate them. I accept it's often very difficult to distinguish between the 'can'ts' and the 'won'ts' (and quite rightly, many in the can't category feel uncomfortable having to justify what could be a highly personal reason) but it seems the imagination and empathy of some who refuse to think outside their own circumstances is severely lacking lately.... ... not everyone who genuinely can't wear a mask is able to stay at home, or able to rely upon friends/family/online shopping for their needs. And as for genuine reasons, off the top of my head just two could include (and I'm sure there are many more) masks being a trigger for PTSD (e.g. following sexual assault where the victim was gagged, or hand over mouth etc), or trigeminal neuralgia where the very slightest touch to a sufferer's face can prompt agonising and lasting pain (so masks, visors, hats, scarves and so on are impossible to bear for even a second). If I see someone without a mask when I'm in the supermarket then I avoid them. But I'm also doing my best to avoid anyone and everyone though unfortunately it seems a great many appear to think that actually wearing a mask completely absolves them from having to distance at all. And *that*, not keeping your distance, because you can't be arsed to wait a few seconds to access the shelf I'm currently picking from, is, I'm sure, far more likely to spread the virus than someone without a mask who at least doesn't invade my space.

"Life is tough We humans think we are special and the world was made for us, i grew up in the story of modern Ireland, every decade was perfect for my age, 60s when i was a child with parents to raise me in a prosperous but not materialistic Time, 70s when we wore flayred trousers and I loved slade, 80s when the music was so brilliant but we all had to go to England to work as not much in Ireland, but what we learned there, 90s back in Ireland and things are starting to pick up and our kids are born, noughties and things are booming, kids are growing up and we have money to send them to 3rd level, also lucky we bought our house when they were affordable, 20teens came through the crash with our children highly educated, and no harm they saw a little bit of tough times, life has been good so far, now all we have to do is keep our heads down for another few months until the vaccine comes to the rescue, see what happens then " | |||

"Agree. If medical staff can wear one all shift then others should. Hubby is exempt but still wears one if he goes shopping. It's not like they stop you breathing. In some countries there's no such thing as exemption, you wear one or you stay in your own home I disagree. My daughter has learning disabilities and cannot wear one. I am her carer, which means I can't go to the shop for groceries without her. Don't make things more hard for disabled people than they already are by saying they should stay home if they can't wear a mask. Exemptions are there for a reason. Unfortunately the people on threads like this never reply to comments like this because they have nothing to say. they think they are being clever by saying if you are disabled you should stay-at-home and have online shopping. Dave would see it differently if they had a disability or condition that made it impossible for them to wear a mask. What These people don't seem to realise is the exemptions are there for a reason if there wasn't valid reasons why some people couldn't wear one there wouldn't be any exemption at all. " I stand by my original point. If you can wear clothes, you can wear a mask. Shops don't provide a special hour when people can shop naked because they are too anxious to wear clothes. | |||

"What annoys me is people who think they are exempt from wearing a mask. If you can wear clothes you can wear a mask. So you're actually suggesting that say, people with autism or anxiety issues should walk around naked? No, I'm suggesting that if you are capable of wearing clothes you can wear a mask. Errrrrrrr no ....... ever suffered with anxiety???" Clearly not lol. X | |||

Go on, do it for a week and see how you feel. The LAW, irrespective of what YOU want allows exceptions for a variety of medical and mental health issues. You, even in France, don't live in a dictatorship, well I daresay it feels like it but you don't. Plus, you've absolutely no influence whatsoever over here. | |||

"If you can wear a mask in a shop (because of the current laws.) Why is it that lots of people when leaving a store, will remove their mask on the street? Do these people think that the virus only likes to infect people while indoors, and only after 10pm." Why is it that you don't understand masks. They're only effective for about 20 minutes. What's the point in wearing a mask that has no use? Where's this 10pm now come from. That regulation was for closing of pubs etc. | |||

It would be beneficial. As a person's germs are largely kept localised to themselves. But where only the odd person or two wear a mask. Then it's ineffective imho. | |||

"Mask wearers still catching the virus. What more do you need to know about how ineffective masks are?" Of course mask wearers are catching the virus, they could be catching that from anywhere, from their children, from someone in the family who goes out to work...if masks only offer a little protection of transmission,surely it's better than nothing? | |||

They are effective, a little for about 20 minutes. Masks are not there to protect the wearer! They're there to stem some of the flow but after 20 minutes they're useless.

Masks are not to stop us being infected, they are to reduce the range of droplet expulsion from our mouths so reducing the viral load we transmit to each other, wear a clear visor for a hour and chat and see how much spray builds up on it. Outdoors the wind disperses droplets very effectively if you are 2m apart of course | |||

The thinking behind some of the difference in Europe is; If you're outdoors and can maintain 2m why do you need the mask? The mask is to reduce spread when you're in close proximity 2m. If you're out alone walking in the wild why would you need a mask at all? | |||

"When going shopping, go alone. If someone in a shared home is infected, it's probable that others are too. When a household goes anywhere together, multiple infected people will shed much more of the virus than 1 person will. It's a multiplication factor of the virus load shed. Multiple people together will thus make it very much easier for others to get infected. Shop alone and don't pretend to be several solo shoppers. Just because you can, doesn't mean its not stupid and selfish. " Some people can't shop alone. They need assistance. Yet again another one size fits all non-solution. | |||

"I work with people who are unable to shop alone and I fully agree, as per previous raising of this pojnt that we've posted on. The majority of the population are, I believe, still able to shop alone. If we reverted to people who can, doing this, it could reduce the potential for several people in a household shedding multiple loads of the virus in the same places, which increases the probability of others acquiring enough virus to get infected. I help people with physical and cognitive impairments to shop and they will still continue to need this support.

"Lots of things make us cross and frustrated by people's behaviour and generally with what's going on in the world atm. So let's blow off some steam, no need to get narky because someone has a differing opinion to yourself. I'll start. If you can't wear a mask and insist on going into a shop to purchase something that isn't actually essential don't make members of staff feel like an idiot. Just get a lanyard ffs. And keep out of their 2 metre space. Shop staff have as much right to protect their health as much as everyone else.
Feck the lanyard.
They are bought off ebay by selfish twats. This is getting too serious to pander to the buggers who wont wear one... as said if you cant wear one stop the fuck at home.
That's my rant
Yup, by your standards I'm a selfish twat then. My rant? A little tolerance and understanding wouldn't go amiss from a lot of self righteous people on here. "Just seem this You seem to love this emoji when anyone has a different view to you eh.
I know enough about people who have physical and mental Illnesses first hand thank you.
But on here I have seen by far too many kicking and screaming about wearing masks from the beginning...first it was civil rights ffs...then the same people who wear moaning on that one oddly developed a hidden disability on masks.
I accept there is a very small minority who cant for either physical or mental reasons who cant wear a mask...but they should be looked after as much as possible for thier safety and everyone elses. At the end of the day we are nearly seeing some light to a end to this....but atm the infection rate is escalating at a alarming rate...so year I stick by my rant as that was what the op invited us to do!

"When going shopping, go alone. If someone in a shared home is infected, it's probable that others are too. When a household goes anywhere together, multiple infected people will shed much more of the virus than 1 person will. It's a multiplication factor of the virus load shed. Multiple people together will thus make it very much easier for others to get infected. Shop alone and don't pretend to be several solo shoppers. Just because you can, doesn't mean its not stupid and selfish. Some people can't shop alone. They need assistance. Yet again another one size fits all non-solution.
I work with people who are unable to shop alone and I fully agree, as per previous raising of this pojnt that we've posted on. The majority of the population are, I believe, still able to shop alone. If we reverted to people who can, doing this, it could reduce the potential for several people in a household shedding multiple loads of the virus in the same places, which increases the probability of others acquiring enough virus to get infected. I help people with physical and cognitive impairments to shop and they will still continue to need this support. I would be the first to decry anyone trying to force exclusions that would be devastating to many - though I appreciate your raising this essential need. "Agree some can’t and they’ll get the support they need. however so many others don’t need to bring mum, dad, 3 kids, grandchildren and the kitchen sink ! | |||

"If the "person" can't shop alone it's fair to assume someone shops with them? Why can't that person, take a list and shop for them? | |||

"Respect other people’s points of view ... I’m not getting vaccinated and I seriously have doubts about this whole scamdemic but that’s my point of view so respect .... don’t be arse holes and be nasty cos my view is different "Scamdemic... seriously? Just seen my next door neighbour a few days ago on a trolley gasping for breath as being bundled into a ambulance by medics in ppe and taken some flowers round to his widow this morning... looked pretty real to me. But yes you are instilled to an opinion and hopefully you wear a mask when you go to Witherspoons. | |||

"Just googled it and is moisture after 20 mins right? So that's 3 masks an hour? So 20 a day for my shift? Yeah right! That's never gonna happen! X" That is BS....if they get a little damp it still stops a massive amount of spray leaving your mouth and nose. As a icu nurse if they change them every 20 minutes... | |||
