Although the latest reports seem to be showing that the risk of direct

There was a bit on the TV the other day. A Chinese group going to an
Italian hospital to help out. The usual sort of publicity thingie shot
outside the hospital. All, including the TV crews, were required to wear
masks.

Now both China and italy have more direct experience of this than us. But
perhaps not the English obsession of not looking 'stupid' in public.
