From Gov UK.

If you have an age, health or disability reason for not wearing a face covering:

you do not routinely need to show any written evidence of this
you do not need show an exemption card
This means that you do not need to seek advice or request a letter from a medical professional about your reason for not wearing a face covering.

However, some people may feel more comfortable showing something that says they do not have to wear a face covering. This could be in the form of an exemption card, badge or even a home-made sign.

Carrying an exemption card or badge is a personal choice and is not required by law.

There is something else about it being an offence to challenge people or refuse them service if they say they are exempt bit I really can't be bothered trawling through it anymore. Some people have won court cases on that basis. Personally I wear one even though it feel like shit while wearing one, it makes me cough more and aggravates my asthma but it's preferable to arguing with all the little Hitler's that are now everywhere.

and this total lack of documentation resulted in genuine people who couldn’t wear mask getting harassed because people got annoyed with people flouting the rules.

I have COPD and am classed as clinically extremely vulnerable yet I still wear a mask even though I don't have to.
It's not about being a little Hitler, it's common decency.

Correct. It is there somewhere where it says people could be fined for challenging people further once they say they are exempt but the can't be bothered looking.

I just ignore them and I see plenty. Who needs a row, fight or getting stabbed because someone not wearing a mask winds you up? Not me.

Did I say I don't wear one? No there are far too many busybodies thinking they're big and clever and relishing the small bit of extra power they think they have. They can crack on but I won't she'd a tear if they get cracked for doing so.
 
Been a bit gutted last two days but hopefully in 33 days we will be significantly more vaccinated and less deaths than forecast. Did anyone get to the bottom of those numbers last night?

You are just stuck like a broken record. I guess you are a snowflake belly aching about wearing a mask in a supermarket. The reality is that the vast majority of our economy is open and the last restrictions are likely to go in about a month. You can go back to moaning about something else then if you can

Must be based on a new possible variant that dodges the vaccines? Otherwise the current data just doesnt support them?

And that sums up the type of person you are.

Thank you. We're just going to pray for good weather (so guests can spend most of the day outside) and hopefully, our venue isn't super strict.

We might invite some G7 leaders so we're allowed standing drinks receptions too.

That should do the trick!

In all seriousness, I'm hoping that things improve enough in the next couple of weeks for them to lift all restrictions for weddings at least when they review it on July 5th so you won't have any issues when you get married. Obviously I'm no scientific expert but I posted the last 7 days daily case numbers for the UK last night which shows that - for the time being at least - they've flatlined and that gives some hope that while this Delta variant is now the dominant one, it's not leading to anything like the huge case numbers that we saw in December and January, and where we're at now may just be about the worst of it.

just showing you what you said about her not being harmed by covid 19 is pie in the sky and you "am I bovverd" approach to parenting astounds me but each to their own.

Well, well, well. Looks like your ‘am I bovvered’ approach to vaccinating your kids with a brand new vaccine for a virus that rarely impacts kids has been proven to be wrong. The advice given to our government is to wait until more data is available (exactly what I said) before vaccinating kids. Few people with egg on their faces this morning.

Amazing how these people are willing to attack anyone who is critical.
Dare suggest that lockdowns don’t work and that cancer patients deserve more and you’re apparently anti-vax.

I went to ASDA and people are walking in frequently without masks and they ASDA dont say anything to them, nothing. Which is contrary to what they advertise :

-----------

Face coverings​

Customers must wear face coverings while in store, unless you are exempt.
Customers can enter Asda stores without a face covering if they have a medical condition or invisible disability that prevents them from wearing a covering.
-----------


So I am wearing my mask and I ask at the checkout why ASDA are not asking people for health exemptions? And thats it... First a security guard, then another, then the sub manager then head of security then the store manager come down (And by this time I am asking why they are going ott, no swearing and no shouting), the store manager bans me from all ASDA stores and I am escorted off the premises.

I dont give a crap about ASDA and their Walmart ways but what the actual fuck!
