- brigandish 7y ago> How can you say the mask isn’t helping? I didn't but I also didn't make the claim that they would help so I suggest we start by getting claimants to back up their claims before we get anyone checking claims to prove negatives.

It's true Singapore does not mandate mask use, but they have thorough contact tracing and draconian quarantine laws.
