Dear Editor,
I think the lady who challenged Mr Penfold for not wearing a mask was very brave. I only wish I had the nerve to do the same.
I am in the same sort of age bracket to this man but always wear a mask. I find them hot, ucomfortable and downright annoying. I can't see properly as they ride up and at times I have almost passed out wearing one. To say it's not anybody's business is nonsense. This virus does not discrimate between us and can be a killer. Therefore it's everybody's business.
As it stands, anybody can just stop wearing a mask and say they are exempt without having to prove it. This is serious and genuine exempt folk should carry a card signed by their GP.
