Rob1885 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Just past Cameron Toll in Edinburgh on the way home from work and there was not a space to be had by the looks of it, what's wrong with these people that have to head out to shops in their hoards a week before Christmas when most things you can get in a shop can be got online or if you really must go to the shops don't leave it a week before Christmas. I'm a man and I plan dreadfully for Xmas. Will be my excuse when I'm bombing about the town on Wednesday morning. Not even sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A child with a behavioural disorder (such as autism), a person suffering from some form of PTSD, (possibly a woman who's been attacked previously), an elderly gentleman with alzheimers/dementia. You're saying that they shouldn't be allowed in the shops haha unreal. That's only 3 examples off the top of my head. I could go on. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is unable to remember to wear a face mask due to clinically diagnosed Alzheimer's then I'm really not sure that letting them wander around Morrisons looking for a tin of biscuits unattended is quite the right strategy in the first place tbh. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal 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 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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...
