Round my way the number without masks is tiny; perhaps 3-4 in any one visit to a Tescoburys superstore. Of those maybe half have a sunflower lanyard because they have a lawful excuse.
Now I accept I live at the better off etc side of town and that the rate of non wearing may be more in an area where people with more difficult lives etc are concentrated.
Before we get up in arms and worry about sections of our population or posit that only 5 in 500 people claiming an exemption lets just work the real numbers.
The door keeper at Tesco's offers everyone without one a mask. He/she asks a polite neutral question of those who decline to ascertain the possibility of a 'lawful excuse'; how many (a) barge on or (b) claim excuse where non exists?
Let's understand the scale of the problem before planning a reaction.
