[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2245197, member: 521172"] Friend of mine works in a hospital and was diagnosed with Covid yesterday. Wore a mask but in his line of work anyway he thinks because his eyes weren't protected that was a possible route of transmission due to the membrane of the eyes also being an access point to the virus. Personally I don't believe in the two metre rule anyway as the thing can apparently stay in the air. So you walk behind someone they cough/sneeze/breathe then you walk through their air space seconds later!! The only possible way I can see masks being a benefit is for them to possibly stop droplets leaving an infected person, rather than protecting an uninfected person because untrained persons would be unsure on how to fit, remove, wash a mask correctly. Plus if everyone wears a mask then would there be shortages for essential workers>? Just my opinion. Difficult one. [/QUOTE]
