      Except, bizarrely enough, they have the authorities on their side, or at least some authorities.

          It’s sad that we can’t make enough masks domestically, so the authorities just lie and say they aren’t effective / public shouldn’t wear them. IMO everyone should assume they are an asymptomatic spreader, and should wear a mask to lessen chances of transmission.

          It's not just domestic authorities, though. It's also the WHO: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/when-and-how-to-use-masks … See also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkdPFCStA38 … (3:40 for the bit on masks, but mostly for the rest of the video.)

          in Singapore the official government advice is not to wear masks if you do not exhibit any symptoms / feel unwell.

          Governments in most European countries claim that masks do not protect, but the real reason is probably that they want to prevent a shortage for hospital staff

          Source for you "the real reason" claim? I'd have thought it was that it was consistent with the research... See also: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/when-and-how-to-use-masks … and:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkdPFCStA38 …
