Your questions answered on what type of mask to wear to cut the risk of getting Covid-19

Does it matter what sort of mask you wear? Yes. Different types of mask offer different levels of protection. Surgical grade N95 respirators offer the highest level of protection against Covid-19 infection, followed by surgical grade masks. However, these masks are costly, in limited supply, contribute to landfill waste and are uncomfortable to wear for long periods.

If masks worked why did we have to close businesses?

None 🤷‍♂️👌

More Businesses could open!I If the Govt wasn't manipulating the spread of the virus IT WOULD PUBLISH LOCALISED STATS so we 'The People' could assess our actual risk .... by Town street and Village

'Which kind of face mask ios the best protecion against coronavirus?' The kind you wear while STAYING THE EFF HOME!'

Não creio que seja. A máscara na verdade nos faz redirecionar o gás carbônico de volta aos pulmões além de outras impurezas inerentes à respiração

*sigh* even the Guardian is sold on Thatcher individualism. How does it benefit ME? My mask protects you and your mask protects me. Community. It's that simple.

Isn´t it that the mask (not respirator) should protect others rather than you? Interesting, how the first thought goes to ME first. And then (many times): if I´m not protected 100 % than I give a 'whatever' and do not protect others at all?

The west is slow to catch on to facemask wearing.

Maybe the Guardian could do a follow-up piece about the best kinds of jobs to have in order to avoid facing any consequences for arrogant disregard of lockdown regulations. Obviously being an unelected adviser to the buffoon in No 10 is top of the list, but there may be others.

The stay the feck at home mask.

Four walls a roof some windows and a door or two.

Gas mask with 0.025 micron filter is by far the most effective, however any barrier reduces R albeit slightly. Reducing R saves lives.

The kind that stays at home inside with you.

First of all any face mask will give you some protection. This is already more than the UK government requires you to use.

Spain promises to take legal action against 17 airlinesThe Spanish government has promised court action against at least 17 airlines including easyJet and Ryanair over their customer refund practices following the Covid-19 outbreak. Notice that Norwegian is not included in that list! Very odd since they would only offer their “cash points(sic)” option which they say are worth 1nkr each! Now can’t even get a flight! World is designed to protect big companies rather than people. Well done Spain for taking action. BritishAirways gave me voucher, Ryanair said they will refund me in 7 days 3 weeks ago but still nothing. and i don’t think i’ll get the refund anytime soon. He is saying anyone for Vieus as you are breathing the and AIR but we will take your money !! And no duty of Care !! As masks do not stop micro virus and it enters your eyes . Also the Airlines cannot tell you who has the virus and who had not.

Wearing a bag on your head whilst inhaling atomised bleach works too that’s not a way to live. F*ck the circles and face shields. 'sorcery' 🤣
