Harold Jarche added,
I don't blame you but there is no controversy over this: it's a respiratory disease. The misinformation around masks has so many people confused.
Even experts can't agree, from a PhD in Microbiology: "UNLESS YOU ARE USED TO/TRAINED IN THE USE OF BIOHAZARD PPE, WEARING GLOVES AND MASKS WILL ONLY MAKE YOU COCKY." — I am not a micro-biologist nor an epidemiologist, and neither are you
You are not in a biosafety lab, and experts in their own field have a way of talking to people like they are idiots. All of Hong Kong and Taiwan can wear masks correctly. Yeah, please, we don't intubate people. We can wear masks correctly.
