Very interesting on the government’s assessment of the efficacy of community mask wearing, by Jen who has been challenging the face covering regulations.
This is obvious and has been said from the start. Mask wearing in the community inevitably increases the likelihood of spread through touch *if* a person has the virus and is symptomatic (they are otherwise v unlikely to spread it).
This will always be done given the way in which masks are and it was known would be worn. And it is particularly likely in circumstances where people put on and take off masks...
... - as the vast majority do and were always going to going in and out of shops and (now) getting up from tables in pubs and restaurants (where touch is particularly likely). This one can deduce from observation and from simple human experience.
Well I never!
