Re: Wear the mask

Don't get me started on the Mask - Fact is, they are are extremely useful and successful at both reducing the the potential for person to transmit it, and for somebody to actually breath it in.

GOV.UK is aware of this, and has been outright lying about their usefulness. Their motivation was clear, they didn't want citizens rushing out and hoarding them, when the available supplies were needed for front-line services.

But rather than treating us as Morons, they should have educated people, been honest, and upfront about prioritisation. Instead, there is now effectively a legal black-market for them, where even chemists are charging £5 for a disposable paper mask!
