We don't have enough masks in Europe, and those few are needed for professionals.
Besides that, I think that especially in times like this, it is important to stick to the recommendations of experts. Here in Germany, the expert recommendation is akin to the parent comment. These recommendations are crafted by people with a lot of expertise on the subject and who care for the health of people, and I think it is not productive to fundamentally questions their advice.

Although I would argue we could have ramp up production line. And Medicals get priority with Mask. >I think it is not productive to fundamentally questions their advice. I dont know, but Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, ( We exclude China for comparison ) 200M+ Population together has far fewer death than just Italy with a population of 60M. Let alone Europe. And people are dying. But hey, I guess as long as the people in Germany and Italy and UK are happy with what is being done then that is fine.
- lenocinor 7y agoIt's not only this reason. Even N95 masks are rated only to .3 micron. COVID-19 is .1 micron. It will prevent droplets from those already infected but I don't see how it would help in the healthy much. Maybe it slows down the air breathing out? But I don't see that helping a lot.
