Something that I simply do not understand. Why is it that people don't understand that the surgical masks that most people wear, scarves, bandanas etc. are not for personal protection but to protect others if you unknowingly are infected. Surgical masks were never designed to protect the wearer.

This basic principle seems to be beyond the comprehension of the majority of the population. If you sneeze into a surgical mask it is true that some droplets may excape but most are contained.

If I had to travel on public transport I would wear a PP3 but thankfully I don't have to. Unfortunately swmbo jnr does, but we are taking steps to minimise this,. (she works in a pre-school)
