Any mask updates today?

 

I’m using this thread as my mask source of information in a WhatsApp group. 

Indonesia has gone full mask, making them compulsory for its large population.

 

Good article on national trends here.

The original ban introduced in October was overturned in November.

As health experts in Hong Kong call for masks to be made mandatory to tackle coronavirus, a ban on their use that was introduced in response to protests has been largely upheld by the appeal court.

 

 

Seems strange - they were in years ago with the mask thing.

Yes that's the latest judgement, which I'm aware of.  But since November they were not banned so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

There is no point -- it is information like this that keeps @TheBitch relevant in WhatsApp.

No point, gotcha.

Taliban has been handing out free masks, apparently.  Credit where it's due.

Face masks aren't mandatory everywhere, but strict rules on wearing them have been enforced in the Czech Republic -- even for nudists.

The European country has begun to relax restrictions imposed because of the coronavirus, but at the height of concerns late last month, police were called in to remind people that while it was OK to get naked in designated public places, mouths needed to be covered.

But it can infect you up your bumhole. Is there a bum mask?

Health authorities, even if they stop short of recommending masks, should recognise many consumers are taking matters into their own hands; in parts of New York, the barefaced are already frowned upon.

Our very own Liverpool Echo reporting that face masks will become the new normal.  This can't happen soon enough. Get a mask.

ASDA staff crying out for face masks but get knocked back by greedy bosses. Profit placed before health of the workforce.  The first supermarket that brings in a compulsory face mask policy will have me as a loyal customer for life.  Unless it's M&S, they're a bit pricey.

Some staff at other chains have claimed they have been refused face masks amid concerns they will scare customers and cause unnecessary panic.
