Ignore the advice of qualified people?

Qualified people state they are useless for those who are not infected, and that asymptomatic transmission is unproven. 

It's simple totalitarianism to mandate people to wear a rag over their face and could never be a lawful requirement. The leaders of these totalitarian regimes around the world (including Western European so-called leaders) will face severe justice for their crimes against humanity soon. Former UK Supreme Court Justice Jonathan Sumption sums it all up well. 

The mask is there to protect other people, not you.  If you ever watch TV footage of streets in Japan, you will often see people walking around in public wearing face masks.  It's considered common courtesy to wear one if you have a cold, to avoid spreading it to other people.  But some people obviously don't have the same sense of public duty.  As for "crimes against humanity", get real.

I can't help but observe that anyone who uses the phrase "so-called" in an argiment is clutching at straws.  They are leaders, elected by the public.  Live with it.

Unlike you I have never been of the opinion that any government is entitled to unlimited authority and control over me. I stand by referring to such totalitarianism as criminal. I expect and demand that they be severely punished for it. This sort of thing has typically led to the public execution of those responsible when their time comes to an end.

I feel much the same about electrical regulations.

'Qualified people' told us the World Trade Centre and Building 7 fell down due to terrorist action by a bunch of chaps armed with Stanley knives!

My view in this low risk area is buy some re-usable ones and pay more attention to what you touch and what you do with your hands afterwards. I play a  game called 'spot when to use the hand sanitiser' when I'm out and about. Almost caught out after refuelling yesterday; despite not touching anything in the shop the pumps were unprotected.

There's a heap of 'qualified people's' evidence that masks do or don't make a difference.We can all choose what to believe, but meanwhile others will make things increasingly difficult for us if we don't conform.
