Hi Mogga

Like everything else with this very easily transmitted virus, masks are but one of the group of actions necessary to win

Early results showed that if the infected wear one ,it stops 60% of the transmission IE passing it on
If others wear one it stops 40% of transmission IE getting it
About 10% of transmissions are caused by touching

The Health legislation states that rooms where people are gathered must be kept at a negative pressure IE all the virus proteins get sucked out IE nothing to be transmitted
Quarantine means "ISOLATION" IE no one in or out without a full protective gear, no air in or out IE isolation

Although I laughed when they first said people would have to be trained to wear masks !!!!
I thought rubbish, various tradespeople have been wearing masks for ever, but after going through Melbourne's
lock downs I estimate that at least half the masks were ineffective or were not worn

So you quite rightly ask do masks work --- the answer is yes BUT you must do all the other things as well and if you don't then why bother with masks

IMHO We wear masks and have lock downs simply because the politicians and P/S make so many mistakes that rather than any thing good, and we all have to suffer to cover their arses I wont bother to list all the mistakes

Simply put if you are going to do a job do it properly or don't bother

Where's the data , studies and peer reviewed work which supports such assertions about effectiveness of mask wearing ?
