Stuffed if I know why people bother with those silly masks.  What is needed is a Ned Kelly full face job to ensure no hand contact with face.

Probably because over 85% of infections from this type of disease are typically transmitted in the air ?

It is in a low percentage of cases thought to be transmitted from surfaces.

As I mentioned in another thread earlier - masks alone won't stop you getting coronavirus (or the flu) because the virus can still enter your body through the eyes.

You'd also need some sort of airtight goggles to go with the mask.

Masks alone are only useful for stopping people who already have the virus from passing it on to others. Well, we hope so.

If we start seeing people walking around looking like this, I would really start to worry. Shocked
