Interesting article, on the topic of masks.

Mask mandates saved lives and prevented COVID-19 infections in Missouri’s biggest cities during the worst part of the delta variant wave, an analysis by the state Department of Health and Senior Services shows.

...

The comparison showed infection rates in “masked” jurisdictions were higher than the rest of the state in the six weeks prior to the emergence of the delta variant. Case rates then fell below other regions as the surge gathered force in late May and have remained lower since that time.

...

The statewide data shows that, from the end of April to the end of October, jurisdictions with mask mandates experienced an average of 15.8 cases per day for every 100,000 residents compared to 21.7 cases per day for every 100,000 residents in unmasked communities.

I see the Police are collecting every yr6 pupils from around the entire island and busing them to Balla for a movie. 

I went into a shop earlier and forgot to put a mask on and was almost tasered by some old dear behind the counter.

 

Good reflexes on the old dear then 👍

I don’t think anyone disagrees that masks may make a difference. Biggest factors are the quality of the mask and how they are used. Fiddling with them every minute and reusing them is counterproductive. We had strict instructions on handling them, disposing in plastic bags etc (later changed to paper bags after complaints on sustainability).
