Makes you wonder of the masks being sold to the public in the UK are safe?

Many of these face mask will also be sold to the general public, if they are not good enough for medical staff they are not good enough for the rest of the population.

Just imagine what dangers lurk in the rags that folks are draping across their mouths and noses, removing with hands that have touched all surfaces, scrunching into pockets and pulling out again to reuse in the next shop STOP THIS MASK MADNESS, BorisJohnson!
