This is all getting really dumb.
The time when masks would have made any significant difference either way came and passed long ago.
There's much bigger issues that need urgent attention than whether someone is wearing a mask over their face while ordering a coffee which they can't drink with a mask over their face. We're still wandering ignorantly into a second wave in the midst of Brexit stupidity and economic collapse. Most of the country still haven't even woken up to the idea they might not have an income in a few months time.
Appears loads of people now think masks are some magic bullet. Truth is, media pressure has been the biggest thing that has pushed the use of masks.
It doesn’t stop the spread of the flu in Asian mask wearing countries and it’ll make minimal difference here, California love a mask and it doesn’t seem to be doing them much good.
I had my extra airport job until a few weeks back when I was laid off, so I can understand why, 99% of people have no fecking clue on how to use them. They grab them, let them hang under their noses or chins, take them off wrong and shove them in their pockets or put them in security trays etc.
In Sweden we even had a CBS journo yesterday who had flown over to ask the health ministry why they are not recommending masks as USA are doing it and “they have much better figures than Sweden” and trying to shame the Swedes
. The Danes aren’t doing masks, and plenty of mask wearing countries are doing miles worse than them.
In short it’s become a miles bigger talking point than it ever deserved noods.
