I think saying “misinforming”, “dangerous”, or relying solely on the generic guidance of the WHO is a bit strong.
I think common sense prevails. Wearing equipment that filters airborne particulates will expose a person less than going without.
Personally, I would prefer being overprotected versus becoming a statistic in a WHO researcher’s Excel spreadsheet.

- sbr464 7y agoI think that points more to how fragile the world economy is. You have a personal choice where you can do everything to increase your chances of survival, or go with common/generic advice that’s provided to society as a whole. I guess it depends on what your goals are.
- rndgermandude 7y agoMy goal is not to be an asshole, and to survive too, by listening to people who actually know their shit instead of using their "common sense" to guess. If we relied on common sense, the earth would still be flat, and we'd still prohibit women on their period from pickling food.
- mantap 7y agoMask wearing is mandatory in several countries. This is not a situation where people are making shit up, this is a situation where you have several authorities saying different things. In the absence of solid evidence, applying common sense to evaluate the arguments of those authorities is a lot better than just picking one of the authorities and proclaiming "This is the truth!"
