The point is the masks we see here are for stopping stuff getting in not
out, and its the out bit we need to stop those with anything from giving
it to everyone else, whatever it is.

And most of the medical profession claim that even
the ones intended for disease are pretty useless, but
the use of surgical masks in surgery is universal now.
Thats stopping the surgeon infecting the victim tho.

I wonder if anyone has done any research on this in the winter season, to
see if it brings down the number of colds an flue.

Not really that easy to do given
how variable colds and flu is.

I'd bye more wary of measles than this virus at the moment, I think.

Thats mad given that the bulk of those in the
modern first world have been vaccinated with
measles and none have been with the coronavirus.

You just dont get results like have been seen with
the Diamond Princess cruise ship with measles.

That is possibly one of the most infectious things about.

Thats very arguable given the Diamond Princess result.

Maybe it's time to order some face masks from, er, China.

One of the buyers in my old employer told me one of his Chinese suppliers
has asked if he can source 1000 masks in the uk for them!

Furthermore he is expecting massive shortages of Chinese manufactured
product to start appearing next month. They are already refusing to
discount bulk purchases from uk stocks as he expects Chinese prices to
rise appreciably.
