New Mask Exemption Regime

[king1]

Everyone or no one.
There we're doctors passing them out on request with the mandates.
I have such little trust, and such a low opinion of the society we live in that I cannot believe it wont just be a free for all. It will.
The healthy majority are being penalised by the unhealthy few
I wear a mask 6 to 8 hours a day  I hate it  I hate it so much that I hate those that want to wriggle out of it too  arseholes. There wouldn't be more that a couple of hundred genuine cases in this country, bit the buses and supermarkets etc will resemble a 50-50 split of those with and those without.
I don't think it's a big ask for someone to have to wear one to go shopping or sit on a bus

I also think you know this too, but have a self interest in the matter rather than a communal one. You wish to justify it to yourself

Well by your mantra, it should be 'no one' then, because you will never be able to get 'everyone' to mask up, some simply can't, hence why we have a mask exemption program... 

Did you catch this part from the link in the OP...

• The difference is that the old cards do not have legal standing and can be questioned. The new cards will provide proof of exemption.
  
  
• If they are questioned, the person questioning them will be at risk of triggering the duties and obligations under the Human Rights Act that protect disabled people (noting that this is defined very broadly in the Human Rights Act)
  

• Exempt persons continue to have the same rights of access to businesses and services irrespective of their optional use of an exemption card.
  
  
• The new cards should be accepted by businesses because they have clear legal status as proof of exemption.
  

• People who fraudulently misuse the process will be in breach of a COVID-19 Order under the COVID-19 (Public Health Response) Act 2020
  

It is providing legal protections to the mask exempt, whilst also providing legal remedies against those that misuse it.
