Which masks? N99s, N95s, 50 percenters, part of an old ripped up T-shirt or a bandana.......... get real the number means % pass rate of individual virus proteins, I'd be willing to bet that 75% of the masks worn in the UK fall well below any regulatory testing and are worthless, add in the idiots wearing them incorrectly.....or in the case of 50% of the youngsters I see at the train station on a daily basis, not wearing them at all and some people wearing masks is about as much use as a chocolate fire guard except in properly clinically controlled and sterilised environments.
Just for the record go into any shop selling fabric masks and read the disclaimers from the manufacturers on the packaging along the lines of 'this mask has no definite anti viral protection and this company takes no responsibility for any infection caused to the wearer's..... that breeds confidence
Some people are so willing to believe the whining bleeding heart media who change their opinion on the say so of the last 'expert' they spoke to that they'll actually think the BBC and Guardian are credible news sources these days, fuck me you might as well read the Star and watch Russia Today
Did the Government get things wrong, damn fucking right they did, but so did the doctors, scientists, care home managers, logistics and supply chain personnel, local government, and most especially the idiot media whose only interest is telling the story in the worst and most sensational way possible, ensuring any useful message is muddied and clumsy before it even reaches the people. Add in the media ability to twist a story any which way they want to score political points and this was always going to be a catastrophe no matter WHO was in charge!
Funnily enough mentioning the WHO it took them 3 months, you know the organisation that has some of the best scientists in the world on call or as direct staff, to declare a pandemic and only did so once it had entered 60 odd countries........and once they'd spent two commitee days on working out how to ensure that it wasn't called Chinese Coronavirus or some such just so they could be seen to be onside with one of their largest contributors
Anyone who thinks any Government in the West would deliberately carry out a program of euthanasia against it's own elderly citizens in care homes is nuts, in this day and age you are almost 100% going to be found out and crucified for it but you know let's keep spreading that bollocks to score political points whilst people are still getting infected and dying rather than concentrating all the media clout on getting people to actually do the correct things.
A bit like the BLM idiots going out on protests when it had been pointed out for months that potentially ethnic minorities were more susceptible, people are getting infected because they are morons and rather than following the admittedly ropey advice from the government they are listening to the media and conspiracy theorists and questioning any thing they are told to do......'Tories told me to do it so it must be wrong'

Oh and I'd say the exact same about the Tory morons if Liebour or the Lieberal Demorats were in charge.
Simple common sense is no longer a prerequisite of humanity in the West these days all the sheeple want to be led so they can blame someone else when mistakes are made, well that has come back and bitten us on the arse and will do so well into the new year unless people start paying attention and doing what they are told even if it is only partially effective as in the cases of the shitty face masks
