Presumably the law banning face covering has been repealed or suspended or updated to allow face covering.
As far as I am aware the masks which the govt are requiring folk to wear for health reasons … do fall within legal limits…
which is a great relief… 
No, there was always an exception for e.g medical purposes or “other legal reasons”.

Perfectly legal to wear a hijab, it is after all just a headsquare as worn by QEII, my granny and sundry others.
I own a chaddri (afghan burqa, blue, embroidered and pleated with a little grille for the eyes, I used to use it as camouflage many years ago) which I take in to work every so often for pupils to try on (along with a kilt and a sari) so they can have a think about how we judge and are judged by our apparel, how it affects communication and and why it is so easy for unpopular daughters-in-law in India to burn to death while cooking…

Good news about your masks (not the kidneys…)
take care
It just goes to prove how useful SF is in disseminating beneficial information - if people will only read it 
How can you be an educated person and not acknowledge that you have a social duty to your fellow citizens?
It defies belief.

Reading the article, I’m not sure they are “well-educated” at all, given some of the other things they believe.
And “education” unfortunately has nothing at all to do with emotional intelligence, empathy, common sense. I know from personal experience having lived for a while with someone with a phD.
PS: I hasten to say this was many, many years ago - not my life now. 
What surprised me about the research was not that anti-maskers tend to be right-wing and inclined to conspiracy theories - I think that’s clear from Trump etc! - but that I had built up a mental image of them (based presumably on media misdirection) as predominantly young, male and up for a rave - not middle-aged women!
I live with a PhD in Electronic Physics.I agree about the emotional intelligence, but I am luckier than you when it comes to common sense and empathy.

Well my kids all adults under 35 are the most genuine gentle emphatic compassionate human beings anyone could wish to meet and they are totally forming their own opinions…not many of which would find favour with the majority here…
I probably wouldn’t either if I were to truly voice what I realky think…
C’est la vie…mid fifties I would probably be considered uneducated except in the university of life but I retain an open mind…what do people think about the latest CDC death rate figures in USA…??? Pretty much an eye opener isn’t it…
Do you not question even briefly other people’s viewpoints and why they might hold them…???
Sorry Helen, I’m not sure what you mean. I was referring to this in the article …
“90% of anti-maskers said the health ministry was in league with ”big pharma” to hide the poisonous effect of vaccines, 52% thought Princess Diana, who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997, had been assassinated, 56% signed up to the far-right conspiracy “replacement” theory and 57% believed there was a worldwide Zionist plot.”
