Just consider.
Today I cannot go in to a shop with a motorcycle helmet on.
Today I don't have to wear any face covering to enter a shop, and shop workers also the same.
On the 24th July if the date is accurate that flips over.

BONKERS!

As far as the evidence of benefit, we've been told for months it's flimsy.

But what about evidence it's harmful. Has anyone looked at that?

What possible risk might there be in the public wearing PPE that they haven't been trained in the use of?

The idea is that the mouth covering restricts the transfer of CV by catching it in the covering. So that means there is likely to be a build up in that face covering.
It would be like a super-accelerated petri dish. With each breath getting a fresh blast of nice, warm, moist breath and COVID.
Not only the COVID, but what about the other potential lurgies that could be caught and grow on that face covering for an hour, including maybe fungi or mildew.

So you don't have it, you contact someone with it and it hits your face covering. Would you be better off with just the one or two inhalations that your system might deal with, or with a one hour incubated dose growing on a mask and being inhaled every few seconds for a prolonged period?

Consider this.

Doses of Covid cannot grow on masks - they need to be inside cells to grow.

Cloth masks interfere with exhaling CO2? - er - no.

We are constantly inhaling fungi and mildew - our immune systems know how to deal with it.

As has been said, if you dislike masks you will not be impressed with being ventilated.

I wear a mask to protect you .....
