The doctors in the far east would beg to differ.

If I was wearing mask in the west , I would be ridiculed and laughed at or even get abused.

I always think this is BS!! You are wearing a mask to capture the droplets from your mouth, so if everyone wearing masks like those in Asia, it would help reduce the rate of transmission, you do not need professional opinions to tell you that!

Some form of barrier (masks) is better than none.

I can't help feeling this is said to stop the public buying up all the masks, thankfully, recent news article I read is finally coming round to the fact that masks do help reduce transmission if worn by the public.


Couldn't agree more..
