He said it was a little less crowded, but most people seemed to be going about their day without too much social distancing...
There is something that noticeable however.
90% of people were wearing facemasks. Just basic surgical masks...since I don't think all these people were running around sick (the west says thats the ONLY reason to wear one), perhaps THAT is why the virus isn't rampaging through the populace? |
I think face masks are a good idea either way (can't hurt), I just think the message here is for sick people only because there's a shortage.
I know they say the certain face masks won't necessarily prevent droplets from getting through, but think about it...wouldn't you rather have some barrier vs none? Would it lessen a chance of ingesting the virus? Even if a little?
Also, as Pickettt pointed out above... if we don't know who is sick and who is not, it would just be reasonable for everyone to wear one out in public as a precaution.
