Make face masks compulsory, page-4

kingpins, very pleased to see your post. Epidemiologists have been saying for a while now that it is primarily airborne transmission. That is what also gives the largest viral load. Reports today saying a sneeze carries it 26 feet. Our guidelines are facilitating the spread.

They need to be compulsory. I have a mask but have baulked at wearing it sheerly because almost no-one else is.

Even a homemade mask would be a big improvement.
