The one benefit of the mask shambles I can see is that it keeps people talking and thinking about the virus - keeping it at the front of their mind.
There is a danger in going back to relative normality everyone thinks its done and dusted, but having everyone whinging on about the importance of masks for two weeks helps keep it at the forefront of peoples mind - this thing is not over.
I don't for a second think this is planned - this government's incompetence is too well proven for such a tactic to be purposeful, but you can't keep CV out of the news for various reasons, and this could be a useful one.
