Or, even if they aren't slipping off, the majority of non-trained individuals will habitually touch the mask or mess with it in some way, bringing their hands to their faces. I feel like it's mostly to avoid people doing dumb crap like this to try and prevent the disease, when all they end up doing is making things worse. | |

| Mar 23, 2020 at 17:33 | comment | added | Vladimir F Героям слава | @F.Jatpil In countries like Czech Republic and Slovakia wearing something (scarf, home-made masks) is now obligatory. People are making home made masks and donating to other people or even to hospitals. The epidemiologists in charge in these countries consider it an important factor to lower the number of infected people from every infected individual. Every lowering of R0 counts even if the protection of one individual is not big.. | |

| Mar 23, 2020 at 14:02 | comment | added | Nobody | I am not a medical professional, thus only providing a comment. There is not enough masks available, so they recommend that let the medical service people have them. Most countries do not manufacture masks anymore (low tech, low profit). The #1 manufacturing country is China, they need it themselves in these days, very minimum export in the past two months. I am talking about surgical masks and lower levels. N95 is another story. | |
