Completely agree, I feel exactly the same. I would suggest you are more than likely to be exempt (under the “extreme distress” category), and that you are therefore perfectly entitled to get on with things without wearing a mask.
I’m damned if I’m going to have to choose between cowering at home or walking around wearing a muzzle on Matt Hancock’s say so. Life is too bloody short.
Have to say I’ve found myself spending more time at home since this came in (not the end of the world, I’ve a house and garden, and plenty of things to occupy myself with — but equally I’m an outdoors person and normally spend a lot of time out and about). Likewise when out for work I’ve simply not bothered nipping into shops, which is something I’d normally do, as I simply can’t be bothered with the hassle.
Needless to say online has benefited in consequence.
One thing I’ve realised in life is that one is rarely alone in doing (or in this case not doing) something, so if this is the case for me then it’s a safe bet others are doing likewise. This is, sadly, certain to mean au-revoir to many businesses over the next year.
The handling of all this also means when the time comes Boris can say au-revoir to my vote, a fact I have recently made very clear to my MP. That said, I’d be amazed if Boris remains PM long enough to see another election. Again, my vote on its own might not be missed, but if enough people feel same...
