    Plenty of social distancing. People of all ages respecting the rules although I will admit that there were a couple who would sometimes not wear a mask on public transport or get to close to you
    Some people cannot wear masks for health reasons.

      Some, but not many and unlikely that a couple would both have the same health reasons for not wearing a mask.

      I have bad asthma, the mask is not comfortable for me, but still I wear it in shops out of respect for others - even though our village and surrounds have had no confirmed cases of the virus since the outbreak started.

        No these were just idiots. There is a group called 'Querdenker' in Germany who are against various things, i.e. anti-vaxxers, facemasks, etc. who are the main culprits and then there are just idiots

        Sorry, by couple I meant a few people but very few. From looking at them you can see that they're either thinking that they're being 'big' by not wearing a mask, care in the community types or under the age of 5.

        I've been wearing a mask since they opened up here and yes, it is uncomfortable but you don't have to wear it for extended periods of times (I feel sorry for those who do) so it ain't going to hurt.

          Reminds me of the time I spent in Milton Keynes for a client - never again. Then somehow I managed to visit Derby afterwards.. that was one year I could happily forget. Such a lack of investment everywhere you look. Except for London of course.

            If someone has a medical condition such that they cannot wear a mask, should they even be going out to the shops etc. at all?

              They should may it law. End the confusion.

              I find it difficult to breath wearing my MundSchutz, especially on hot days. So I limit the time I'm in the shop.

                I went to Milton Keynes once to give a training course, while outside having a smoke break I watched a traffic warden give my German registered and number plated car a ticket for not having a tax disc....

                  Not all reasons for not wearing a mask are respiratory.
