• Though even makeshift masks, or scarves will minimise potential aerosol infection of others if you're symptomatic or not.

    Well, there's a big 'maybe' on this. Nobody really knows. Grasping my £10 rock (fnar) or donning Dan's tinfoil hat might be equally (in)effective.

    The bigger problem is that people will not do this, they will buy up N95s that others should be using.

    True but 'maybe' is enough to enforce mask wearing imo.

    Agree re the N95 issue. Most people I see are wearing makeshift masks

    You should see the stuff round my way. It's like being in Fallout Newvegas. Without the guns. And the robots.

    Maybe @Howard's rocks prevent infection. Do you have any conclusive evidence they don't? If not, why haven't you got one? After all, if we're ignoring scientific evidence and relying upon opinions, why does @Howard's belief in his magical rocks count any less than your belief in the power of masks?

    All hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster and his Noodly Appendages! Ignore science. Embrace belief and opinions.
