I see from the photo of the massed gathering of pointing experts, five out of six people are still suffering from the mask-wearing epidemic that exists almost nowhere else in the world.

 

One for TAT to publish perhaps, to inform visitors that the virus is still rampant in the country and masks are necessary.
