Soooo.... that means there are only 17 people currently in hospital ?

No new nothings ! And yet they extend the state of emergency by a month....Control, control , control....

The mask is used to prevent the wearer from spreading the virus and to make the authorities feel that they are actually in a position to exercise their power. If you want to prevent yourself from getting the virus from airborne particles containing Covid  then you would need to cover your nose, mouth AND eyes with a protective covering which will prevent the passage of something as small as a virus.

If you're really afraid of catching the virus from a potential carrier then social distancing ( staying at home) and sanitisation of yourself and surfaces that carriers could come into contact with would be the best way of doing that.

The current mask wearing that everyone is going on about is merely to make other mask wearers happy.
