Masks

[Bazile]

Remind me please why the wearing of a mask protects other people and not the wearer himself / herself

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

You have a job to breathe with the mask on why wasn't it enforced at the start why now?

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.

BTW - I shoulda bought shares in a mask company!

I thought the saying was "If I wear one I am protecting you"
"If you wear one you are protecting me " ??.

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.

Masks may not work every time.... neither do parachutes, but I would certainly want to be wearing one when I jumped out of plane.
