Watching people debate mask efficacy on national TV in the UK is surreal.

We trust masks for surgeons, healthcare workers, and every kind of airborne hazard.

Even basic blue surgical masks cut risk by around 50–60%… which, in case you’re shit at maths, is still miles better than 0%.

I feel like I'm going crazy,...but that's what I get for reading the news.
