Sorry I believe I didnt explain myself properly. I dont think that masks are 100% guarantee, but they help and a lot and I dont understand why governments and WHO were against people using it in the begginning, saying it didnt help. You dont need to be an einstein to know that a person coughing directly into your mouth is much different than it happening when the person is wearing a mask. If you are ALSO using one you decrease the chances of contamination A LOT. Add social distancing and really, the chances are very small. I just dont get why authorities were against it. Just doesnt make sense. The chance of contamination decreases a lot and when you add the statistical effect of all those decreases then you get to a minimal chance of contamination.

I truly think we can go back doing a lot of stuff if we wear masks, like going to the cinema or theatre, shops, museums, etc. Of course other stuff like football games, rock concerts etc that will come back only when we have a vaccine.

They were against it because they knew people would empty all the store shelves and medical professional wouldn't be able to get them. They should just have said mask help but don't buy all the masks wear a piece of cloth or make your own mask. The counter argument to that is that people would have done it anyway but what about the loss of credibility? was that lie worth it?

Agree. Also how many lives could be spared if they had told people since the begginning that even a cloth mask would already help?
