Looks like mask mandates are there to stay in Britain I guess.
This is literally the only way to protect yourself from the virus. If there's ever a real pandemic, I can't wait to see maskfags die while chad respiratorfags inherit the Earth.
The weird thing is that the protocols for mask use have been set down for decades and where totally non controversial up until last year.
Cloth masks- A joke from the olden times from people in black and white pictures. You might as well use a lucky charm, it'll give you as much protection against a virus. Wearing a dirty piece of cloth over your face for days at a time, which I personally know a bunch of people who do, may give you a nice bacterial infection, so there's that.
Surgical masks- good for incidental droplet protection due to water resistant layer. They need to be changed frequent;y, as in if you touch it or it becomes moist. Useless against micro droplet or aerosol viral inhalation but may give some degree of protection for things like Norovirus, but for large droplets only.
N95 respirators- various kinds, the ones used in health care don't have an exhalation valve but otherwise they all work the same way. Offer a degree of protection against viral inhalation up to a maximum of 15 minutes. MUST be fitted properly with no air gaps, MUST be changed (every 15 mins or if you touch it).
P100 respirators- As above. Can be used as filter inserts into a full face mask. Pretty much the gold standard and if there was an actual ZA what I would choose. Used in this way can be worn for long periods of time, but removal and disinfection of the mask must be done very fucking carefully.
It's been a bizarre experience watching normies slap dirty pieces of cloth over their feed holes as a ward against the demon Covid.
BTW Fauci and those other 'experts' on the tee vee know all this, they were taught it in medical school.
You answered it in the next sentence
China has done this and more.
Rather than just the police/army imposing martial law, they have got the masses to do their own policing.
It's exactly the same thing as you get with all those other zero-tolerance cases.
Instill mass FUD of the plague and get everyone to be vigilant, while ratcheting up the surveillance/monitoring.
Anyone who doesn't play ball is an enemy of the people, and your neighbours will snitch on you.
I can tell you've never been to China.
The CCP can be brutal but the Chinese are the most don't give a fuck people I've ever encountered
Road rules are advisory, they all drive like complete lunatics.
People will literally take a shit in the middle of the street and no one bats an eye.
They will smoke, throw garbage and generally ignore petty rules whenever they feel like it. Standing in line is an alien concept to them.
China has been operating business as usual since March last year with no major outbreaks reported up until the past 2 weeks when they've sent parts of Guangzhou into lockdown, coincidentally at the same time everyone started giving them the stink eye for releasing the Kung Flu on the world. It's all a fucking show.
