Masks are clearly going to be more effective when used by trained personnel in a clinical setting. For example, removing masks using gloves and disinfecting hands before touching faces. There isn't necessarily a contradiction here in thinking masks could be effective for medical personnel but not the public. Although, as I have already said, I think they made a mistake. > If you're going to lie If you don't have the wit or politeness to enter a discussion without throwing insults around please find another forum to argue on.
