> I think anyone who thought critically about it could see through this. Any five year old knows some protection is obviously better than none. It's unbelievable that some people went along with such utter, obvious dangerous stupidity and repeated it. Imagine advice on HIV being condoms sometimes break, DON'T USE THEM. Would some people be ignorant enough to accept and spread such criminally stupid advice (and often in a condescending way) because it came from an official or authoritative source? Apparently probably. > Everyone can do the first set of steps Nah, not touching your face is an impossibility. People touch their faces constantly, hundreds of times a day, and usually are not even aware they're doing it. Aside from added protection, wearing a mask of any kind is a constant reminder of a not normal situation and to practice the other safety advice, distance, awareness of unclean surfaces, washing.
