couldn't agree more. Common sense says face masks work to block heavy respirable viral loads, they're not perfect unless you have the bio-hazard version of masks but even a scarf wrapped around your mouth has some effect.
the government true to their lying form has repeatedly said masks are of no use because if they said otherwise people would ask 'where can we get them?' - but there aren't any.
I bet in the wash up after all this their crap advice on masks will be exposed for what is - a big lie.
