Pro mask or anti mask?

@Yulianna stupid question-do you wear yours in the air....and if you do is breathing with one more difficult in thinner air?

@TheSirfurryanimalWales you are right... stupid question.

@Yulianna There is no scientific consensus that cloth masks achieve anything. That's why the health advice is carefully couched to avoid making such a claim.

@SW-User there is scientific consensus that fabric masks help restrict the spread of coronavirus.

there is no scientific unanimity.

@Yulianna then why does most government health advice include the word - "may"?

@SW-User make up your mind.

do you want to talk about scientific consensus or government advice?

or "most" government advice?

and then which government?

masks do not stop the spread of covid. when worn properly, they do restrict and slow the spread.

@Yulianna Sorry, I thought you would understand the point that if there was a scientific consensus that cloth masks make a real world difference to the spread of coronovirus governments wouldn't be using the word "may"

I always overestimate people's intelligence

@Yulianna here’s a question..if masks are effective how come infection rates in England-no masks required-and Scotland and Wales -masks required are basically the same?
Because here in the UK that rather proves to me they are/were a complete waste of time.
Along with Covid passes which do not prove you do not have Covid.
More and more people are finally realising this virus-with a greater than 99% recovery rate-gave governments the chance to indulge in a mass social control experiment.And measures are still being taken the world over which remove freedom of choice.
Even Plaid Cymru,who voted against the introduction of Covid Passes,voted in favour of extending their use.Inexplicable.
