Here's the link AGAIN.

"Nobody is saying you should go around wearing a mask to stop you catching influenza."

Actually, that's EXACTLY what some people are saying. Which was my point.

You are arguing a different point. If I've got a bad cold I don't go out, and if I invite people round the house I'll warn them "Look, I've got a stinking cold, you might want to come next week instead". I do my bit, I'm not a selfish git.

"asymptomatic, but the carriers could still spread it by coughing and sneezing, and masks offered some protection"

Please show your working, and don't make the assertion that they offer some protection. How much? 5%? Less?

I'm not being selfish by refusing the play your game, because I don't believe that it actually does anything.

The large scale studies that have been done either show no benefit, or statistically insignificant benefit.

And we weren't ASKED to wear masks, it was MANDATED.
