DeeTillEhDeh Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Thats three reasonable examples, but people claiming asthma prevents them from wearing a mask yet haven’t had an inhaler for years are taking the piss.They aren't 3 reasonable examples though. Take autism - even the National Autism Society is not saying no face masks but providing advice on strategies for wearing face masks. The only time they are advising not wearing a face mask is if the person has extreme anxiety - and in those circumstances they say you wouldn't want to be in the kind of environment like a shop in any case. VT made the point about dementia/Alzheimers - I wouldn't put it as brutally as he does but those looking after dementia sufferers - my mother looking after my step-Dad who has middle stage Alzheimers - would make sure they either wear their mask or, more often, are not in that environment. I can understand there might be an issue with PTSD but even then it won't be everyone with PTSD - I would go as far to say that if someone mentally can't cope with a face mask - that claustrophobic feeling - then they are not going to be comfortable in a crowded shopping environment. If it was an issue with PTSD sufferers then why are PTSD UK selling their own face masks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Aberdeen 151.3 cases per 100K excelling themselves now. Cases doubled up over 100% in a matter of 10 days. What is even more stark is that it is not a particular local outbreak but widespread all over the city. Worse than Glasgow City now Some turnaround Dundee has dropped, thankfully - down to 127 from 144 at the start of the week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the point of Autism, if its quite a profound form of Autism then it absolutely acceptable. Thats what I thought the chap was referring to? If someone in the early stages of dementia walked into a shop and had forgotten then again I think it can be excused, same can be said for people living with brain injuries etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough i just thought that was obvious? The wifes had people phone her up asking for a letter to say their son or daughter doesnt have to wear a mask through having asthma, including some who’s teenage kids havent had inhalers in years etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that a large number of the 850,000 have family members providing care or are in residential facilities.

Giving it the big licks about the infection pattern of a highly contagious virus = the biggest minter for the east of Scotland since the 2014 referendum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1885 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I appreciate the sentiment RE the mandatory mask wearing as the end goal is to reduce the spread of Covid. It's just too black and white, however, to say that every single person must wear one in the required settings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not going to get Covid from spending two minutes queueing at a supermarket till whether someone is not wearing a mask/not respecting your 2 metre magic force field. It's an everyday irrational seethe that requires a few seconds thought before realising that it means next to f**k all rather than being a direct assault on your health and safety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look out at the boundary every day: it's what produces the Clyde Riviera's magnificent, fjord-like landscapes. By virtue of being on the south side, we are in the correct side of that dividing line as well. . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Would be interesting if it proved to be true, it might make full scale lockdown more palatable for some and an easier sell. Not that I think we should have a full lockdown, unless we want to be giving p45s as Christmas presents this year, but it may get used as another tool to persuade/coerce compliance. As aside, on schools, several parents have already indicated their intention to keep their kids off next Monday/Tuesday morning. A sensible position, in my opinion. In return, we get hammered from the council about attendance being too low (regardless of being in the midst of a pandemic) and attainment, just wonderful for morale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
