      Have to say ToryGraph comments are mostly Trump-supporters level moronic, far more so than Daily Mail, even the Express comments are more sensible (at least in the Weird News section)

        "Senior scientists issued an urgent call".

        I can't take stuff that is written like this seriously. It's like a superman comic.

        But when your story is as mundane as "academic doesn't like what government is doing" then I suppose you have to try anything.

          traditionally face mask wearing asian countries like japan and korea did not have such wild fire like spread of covid-19 as we had in Europe and USA. Is that enough evidence

            Nope. It's an indication that they might be effective. But the difference in spread could have another cause. Correlation does not imply causation.

              I don't think so...

              Contact tracing and containment is largely pointed too in regards to South Koreas success.

                whatever.
                anyway it better to have a N95 mask barrier to the virus than have no barrier at all.

                  But it's better to wear one of these.

                    It's now clear because Germany cities that introduced compulsory masks had a significant drop in infection rates compared to the ones that didn't.

                    Face masks considerably contribute to reducing the spread of coronavirus infections
