If a hospital in Melbourne doesn’t have a #mask on the face of every patient/visitor today, they are accepting an unforgivable risk. Management mist push DHHS and AHPPC for FIRM stance on #clothmasks TODAY. Should have happened 2 weeks ago. #covid19aus #covid19vic #auspol

This is a train wreck in slow motion. I don’t know what else to say. The #mask debate is thoroughly disingenuous.
Issues on masks that the WHO should clarify.There's evidence on benefits for both source control (reducing droplet spread) and self protection. As surgical masks must be reserved for HCWs, #clothmasks could be the answer.

Cloth masks are inferior to surgical masks but might reduce the R0 enough to ease the epidemic IF everyone wears one in crowded places (eg crowded trains). It could reduce transmissions by asymptomatic shedders in the community. A non immune form of "herd protection" (@gauden)
There's laboratory evidence on cloth masks but no community trials. However, this is much cheaper and more sustainable than major social distancing (also untested). DIY may do but the global garment industry could probably make 100m+ a day soon if asked. Washable and reusable.
