No, helen, what you get is people saying that loose fitting, badly worn and handled flimsy face coverings provide no protection at all to either the wearer or those around them. They might then go on to suggest that wearing such masks is an exercise in futility, done simply to demonstrate the wearer’s virtue. You also get people asking why, just prior to March 2020, advice from the WHO stated that there was no evidence that widespread use of face coverings among the general public provides any benefits, yet a short time later, after the world had gone mad and followed China’s “lockdown” futility, that advice changed
Wearing a flimsy, loose fitting mask of the type that was prevalent during the pandemic was just about the most ridiculous of all the measures that were imposed on the population. If people want protection from airborne viruses (which, for the vast majority of people, is not a good idea) they can purchase an FFP2 or FFP3 facemask. If worn correctly and treated in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, this will provide the wearer with more than 99% protection. It would not then matter what those around them wore or did not wear and those of us wishing to behave normally could do so without being ostracised and labelled “granny killers”.
