    masks do NOT work. Not unless you are wearing at least an N-95 or better mask. More fear-mongering in an election year, surprise surprise. Do not forget to get your lovely vaccines.

      Stfu liberal. Uh oh, only n95s work, guess we can’t tell anyone to do anything. Not to mention that’s completely untrue, pretty much any mask is better than nothing.

      1. N95 work the best but that doesn’t mean other masks do nothing. They still very much reduce risk

      2. this is an article about the UK. Election years aren’t really quite a thing in the UK as the UK parelement’s elections are called whenever the ruling party/coalition calls it as long as it’s within a certain time frame (in this case by 2025) and it’s highly unlikely for them to call for sooner than they have to as the Torries aren’t exactly polling well

      Let’s fix your incorrect comment: “Masks prevent the spread of communicable diseases, especially N-95 masks.”

      The existence of viruses is not fear-mongering. You don’t believe in the flu either? Staph? E. Coli? Is your ignorance limited to just one virus, or all of them?
