[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1069196, member: 70552"] I think the problem with facemasks is that we started off on the wrong foot that they just protect the wearer especially in the west and then they have become politicised. Now we have more evidence of effectiveness of FFP2/KN95/N95 masks (the differing naming does not help) should protect both wearer and those around you. Hence I personally advocate their use, and if no one else wears them then I know I have protected myself as much I can even if my booster is waning. This study has not yet been peer reviewed but shows how the virus is most likely transmitted in short range. [URL]https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/11/covid-loses-90-of-ability-to-infect-within-five-minutes-in-air-study[/URL] There’s also an argument now to wear them outdoors in cities as long we keep using petrol/diesel engines to filter out pollutants. Pre-Covid this was not much thought of, but now going forward and better quality mask wearing this could be used as a way to reduce respiratory diseases, as we get used to wearing them. Hence why it is important to wear them in schools to start them off young and form part of eduction. [/QUOTE]
