Face Masks Mandated By UK Government Specifically Say They Don't Protect Against COVID-19

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/face-masks-mandated-uk-government-specifically-say-they-dont-protect-against-covid-19

True but we are talking about catching or blocking virus that is carried by spit or dust,  I love the way we love to parse the discussion.  I where a mask in any store or place I go to inside.
