After initially being told face masks were a waste of time, I saw a interview today with a doctor who has conducted trials and discovered they could be 98% effective in stopping the spread of Coronavirus.
Of course the government cannot make wearing face masks mandatory as they would have to supply them which they don't want to do.
It does make you wonder though that if money was spent on masks early on in the pandemic, and wearing masks mandatory, deaths and all the expense racked up since on ventilators, PPE, Nightingale hospitals etc. could have been avoided
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
