Some facts about mask wearing in China pre COVID:

The people are already in place, only the system would change, you still have the inspectors, and administrators and a well designed form could be readable by a computer if ranges rather than exact figures were required. Apart from scanning Only rejected forms would need much human input in the first stage.
//It would not bother me but, you will get complainers and denials saying its not required or COVID does not exist.//
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”.

//No matter how inefficient the Management of the NHS is, there is a critical shortage of Nurses. This is the immediate problem to be fixed.//
I dont disagree with the lack of medical staff. However to pay for it we need to slim the managers(including 5 a day, diversity and all the other useless non-jobs they employ).
Sadly if we gave the NHS yet more money for nurses history shows us the manager just grow their empires and employ more non medical staff.

//If you don't like wearing a mask, you're going to really hate the ventilator.//
Very possibly. But wearing a loose fitting, flimsy face covering will not lessen the chances of the wearer or others needing a ventilator. These chances are remarkably slim actually. Currently there are around 160 Covid sufferers in mechanical ventilator beds in England (population 56m or thereabouts).
//Some people have a very 'Tap room at the Dog and Duck' view of how the NHS works.//
There was an interesting letter in the Torygraph today which is very telling. It was from Irving Benjamin, Emeritus Professor of Surgery, King’s College Hospital in London. He explained that many large hospital trusts (including his own former workplace) display on the noticeboards in their entrances, a large array of headshots of the establishment’s extensive administrative staff. But none show an image of a single senior clinician. The professor went on to give his opinion that this displays a very poor (but accurate) impression of the relative importance each Trust places on sections of its workforce.
I think the professor, along with the punters at the mythical Dog and Duck, are well aware of how the NHS works.

//Its easy to display managers rather than clinicians , the former dont have to face abusive patients or relatives, the clinicians do, in extreme cases threats to life//
The staff facing the greatest threats are those working at the coal face when drunks and drug addicts arrive for treatment. Their faces would not be displayed anyway. Quite why anybody would be interested in who is the "HR Director", the "Director in charge of bogs & basins" or the "Finance Director" of the hospital they are visiting is a little unclear. My guess is they'd sooner know who the chief Orthopaedic Surgeon is, or perhaps who the senior A&E Consultant is.
