NHS can't even get them so how can we !! 😷🤷

Of course! Factories in China are now mass producing face masks. 💰💰💰💰💰💰

MilsomGillian Because the Chinese government are now mocking the world, by providing and producing the world with corona virus, and keep the vaccine for them self's

We are getting fed constant bullshit, biggest problem is we are eating and enjoying it , not thinking for ourselves anymore

If we can get hold of one

If this expert from China ! We shouldn’t trust ! I prefer stay home ! China right now want to sell whole world face mask ! I am fucking mad !!

Experts have always said that if you have it already wearing a mask helps stop the spread up to a point, but is utterly ineffective at preventing you getting it if you were previously not infected. People seem to have selective memories about what has been said and when.

We would, where do we get them?

Oh, so now they say that... Weeks after it's spread all over the place. 🤔. Where exactly is the general public supposed to get these masks?

Wish they would make their minds up, one minute, they are no good and now we should be wearing them, what do we believe?

Are the experts Chinese by any chance?

DER! My post grad diploma in infection control is 17 yrs old and even I know and have done that!!

CoronavirusUSA Masks

Mooom come pick me up, the 'experts' are changing their minds again!!

That's great saying we all should be wearing mask but where do we get them what health care person should we take them off ? Do these so called experts know what they even say sometime or do they live in the real world

Luckily I have hundreds in the garage from last year. What a stroke.

richardtgarland They knew this all along but couldn't afford to say it, in case there was mass panic buying of masks and price hikes, leaving the NHS short on the front line, while the Jones's at number 53 had 3 years supply for walking the poodle and Mr Ali was knocking them out for £20 each

stayindoors masks are not necessary and the panic is worse than the virus.

They don't work.

Fake news

For ppl don't believe the importance of wearing a mask, please face the fact the virus spreads mainly by ppl's breathing

peterpobjecky Experts are finally saying what citizens know by experience. Frankly, I rather trust experience coronavirus Masks Covid_19

The data from Japan and South Korea, where masks were worn widely from the start of the pandemic, shows that they are an effective measure to reduce the spread.

Where to get them from 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Fucking baloney.

But wait it's

No need to use a mask. The dealers are looking for a business from Corona. Do not worry.

Bit hard when some medical staff cant get them!!

Actually he’s right? It doesn’t 100% stop it, BUT it helps slow the spread! Long as you shower after you return home. Also wearing latex gloves helps too.

You are listening to the wrong expert's, try chrismartenson

Duh. They were lying.

'Experts'. Its nonsense. Only a full vapour mask is effective in stopping one catch a virus. And then they're only 95% effective. This has been studies ad naseum and the results unchallengeable. Masks are however fairly effective at stopping infected people spread it.

I am not an expert , so trust me, this time the expert is right.

We should be taking them away from medical support b/c ....?

Unfortunately all high quality face masks around the world have been raided by Chinese and sent back to China. What you can buy now are the cheap and faulty ones made in China. covid19 ChinaVirus ChinaLiesPeopleDie

No kidding?

From day 1... but no one listened. 🤦🤦‍♀️

So confusing.

They will work if everyone wear it. It's called universal masking and many Asian countries already done that. Western countries should follow before they become another Italy.

Bizede günderin.

If anything they will help prevent from you touching your face. Surface contamination is a big factor in the spread of this virus.

Do you ever get the feeling these 'experts' are just making it up as it goes along?

If you were experts you would’ve been right the first time.
