why did you suspect
for weeks I have been saying - - cough plate - cough cough cough and X colonies on plate , Next wear mask, cough plate - cough cough cough
X colonies on plate = == ergo masks dont work
we knew that about 100 y ago
I have a mask. I will wear it in shops etc. until it falls to bits cos they say I have to. It probably doesn't protect me or anyone else but what the hey.
I think they should lift ALL restrictions (& end the handouts) and let what happens happen.
So let's just assume that if everyone wore a mask to protect other people then we would all be safer. We will never be 100 per cent certain but unless you have a medical reason for not wearing one I can't see the problem.
