Give us the evidence for mask wearing
Tell us why we need to keep wearing masks when it appears they are not doing any good.
Why the contribution is important
Cases have done nothing but go up since we had to wear face coverings. And yet despite this there is talk about us having to wear these in even more places. Give us the evidence behind this as it seems to be just making us do something for the sake of it with no proof it’s making a difference.

It depends on the type of mask though, how it's worn/handled and how well it seals around the mouth. Not only is there scientific evidence but in countries where mask wearing is the norm, the death tolls are very low.

if it was spread by breathing or talking, why is the test so intrusive?
