i find it very interesting that the "experts" have entirely flipped the script.
typically, you wear a face mask to protect yourself from dust and other airborne contaminants you don't wish to inhale. so you can judge for yourself how much risk you wish to take. dusty day? don't want to irritate your lungs, you can wear a mask. doing some demolition, and don't want to inhale all that dust, you can wear a mask.
but, this song and dance is just the opposite, now we are being told that NO ONE is allowed to assess the risk they wish to take, and that everyone has to wear a mask of some sort, to protect others from you. well, i feel fine, i have no indications of having the virus, but somehow, i'm responsible for everyone else's health?
unless i'm at a protest, then it's ok to ditch it.
pure theatre.
