I would hope that the comments were aimed at people like those outside St Thomas, London who were chanting Covid is a hoax.

I think if I had been the A & E doctor who filmed it I would have broken down in tears.

Well they should make a point of saying so! too many come on the TV & radio & say similar things re people who don't wear a mask, "they" should also point out the fact that there are some people out there who are NOT able to wear one & not make it sound as though ALL non mask wearers are just being selfish etc etc!

There have been some genuinely ill & elderly people who have been attacked for not wearing them when out & about, & comments like that of that Dr does not help!

Anyone who can’t wear a mask or face shield should be wearing the sunflower logo that tells other people that you have a problem.

Personally, I cannot get over the description of a local consultant anaesthetist during the first wave (known to OH) who was so angry at peoples attitude to the virus he could hardly speak. With so many more nay sayers I worry about him.

I wear an exemption card which I downloaded from NHS Scotland, I don't have it on a lanyard but have it secured on the lapel of my jacket, it is more obvious to others worm that way.
I have not (so far) been asked about my exemption from anyone whilst I have had it, other people are not supposed to question why one is exempt.

I thought the Sunflower lanyard was for those with Autistic propblems? therefore not all those who are exempt would / should use those!

I have learned a lot about why some are unable to where a mask but I also think more people than that think it is up to themselves to wear one or not, in my opinion they are the ones with blood on their hands.
