New Mask Exemption Regime

[Magoo]

Well I think the most sensible comment from that lot is the quote from Rizzo... 

heres some more for you, all doctors,  its science pay attention

"I do not see asthma as an impending factor, unless the person is in active acute respiratory distress -- in which case going out in public is not advised.

"I see lots of patients with mental health conditions including anxiety, psychotic and mood disorders, and I am yet to see one come in without a mask," she added. "None of my patients have felt that wearing a mask triggers any of their symptoms."

people with developmental challenges, mental illness, elderly persons with cognitive impairment, chronic respiratory problems and facial trauma or recent surgery. Still, none of the conditions are listed as reasons for exemption.

why indeed?
what use is an exemption card to them?

because they still have to live, and survive, and get necessities, maybe don't have friends and family to support them...  

One can't always wait for food and medicine deliveries to arrive...  if one orders everything online you are paying freight costs in excess of $20-30 a week, probably more, on top of someone probably already limited budget...

What about the workers in the shops that are exempt, they have nice signs up explaining the situation, yet you would what go in and start abusing or take a wide berth...

What about the self employed? do they have to give up their business they have built up over the years, just so they can follow Magoo law and stay home, and become a beneficiary, how is that even remotely sensible...

Life is not as black and white as you would like to think it is Magoo...   No one is denying the science here Magoo, you are simply denying someone's legal right to live a semi normal life in a trying environment.

what a lot of watery excuses. im sure we could sit here all weekend coming up with 'what ifs' and 'what abouts'
which only reinforce the fact that its not a miniscule percentage, its every man and his dog.

i wish i could whisper sweet niceties to help you overcome the cold hard facts of a pandemic, but i cannot.
one thing this has taught me is that there are way more people out there who dont give a fuck about anyone else and will do as they wish and get others to do it too, to make themselves feel better. it never occurred to me there be so many. i think we are going to suddenly see a barrage of people applying for exemptions for the fucken weakest of excuses..

im going with half.
i say bullshit to miniscule, theres way more selfish arseholes than miniscule, they will number in the thousands.
run a poll, see how many on a board of twenty contributors will apply for an exemption. we can extrapolate it to fit the population.

miniscule my foot.
