the WHO recommended against people without symptoms wearing them
Well in that case, WTF are they making them mandatory for now??

There was the entirety of the effective South Korean response a few months prior...?
One of the biggest letdowns (of many) for me this year has been the WHO bowing to Chinese and US political pressures, instead of fulfilling its role as the global reference for medical treatment and advice. It was clear early on that masks were effective at preventing spread. It is also clear that the refusal to recommend or mandate them was because certain countries didn’t have enough stock for their healthcare workers.Fact is, even making homemade face coverings mandatory would have saved hundreds if not thousands if not tens of thousands of lives.
Why people continue to debate this is beyond me.

What consensus? Did I miss a vote? Now people tolerate masks? If they'd made lockdown and masks 'the rules' instead of a friendly little government suggestion, they might've saved a few more lives.
They've also opened pubs before requiring masks. Que?
