Imo too many people use a 'hidden disability' as an excuse just purely because they don't want to wear one. They've already proven it doesn't affect your oxygen levels so you can breathe just fine through them, it may not be as comfortable but thats the same for everyone wearing one.
Plus being 'exempt' from wearing a mask doesn't make you exempt from catching the virus and spreading it. So if you really are too ill to wear one then you shouldn't be going into crowded public places.... simple as.
And my wife (like Grahams) is severely asthmatic and the pair of us have spent many a night in the hospital with her on a ventilator followed by weeks of steroids after catching a mild chest infection, but as she works at the hospital she still manages to wear a mask for her full 12 shifts without bother. During the first wave she was even forced to wear those horrendous air tight ones that left bruising all over her face. But its part of the job so she puts up with it
Its not the best but at the minute it's a necessity and the more people try to bend the rules and make excuses the longer this BS is going to go on for ??
