Masks are more likely to protect others from the mask wearer - for example sneezing and expelling the virus over a longer distance, they are very limited especially if only scarves and the like. The virus is airbound (and also saliva bound) and can just get through any material we currently manufacture, even surgical masks - so while there's some barrier it's only unfortunately a very poor one.
The reasoning behind not having everyone by law, wear one is trying to ensure the people who need them most- and whose constant exposure will mean they do benefit- get them.
No doubt Joe public and all his mates will be buying right left and centre, this is when it gets out of hand - blame the media both actual and social for saying we should all have one - we really don't need it at all.

Good to see he has some part time work to occupy him, there are only so many cardboard buses one can make
If masks help to reduce the spread of the virus people should be encouraged to wear them. I've not seen any evidence of people who wear them behaving differently from those that don't - in supermarkets or elsewhere. Overall, I've been surprised at how well people are following the lock-down restrictions across the board.
Can I just point out that the discussion in the thread this morning about 'how do we manage coming out of lockdown; it's a massive risk that people will become reckless or demob happy, will do things unknowingly that are harmful, it'll be difficult to go back to lockdown if we have to because people won't comply' are all considerations as to why countries may have been reluctant to enforce lockdown in the first place.

Spoke to the mother-in-law in Czech yesterday about their lockdown (or easing thereof). A couple of crackers were revealed. Pubs and restaurants are opening, but they still expect people to wear masks, and keep 2 metres away from each other. They also demand that facilities keep their toilets shut to the public. So you're expecting people to drink beer through their mask, whilst not socialising with the friends they went to the pub with, and certainly not for that beer to need a release at any time during your stay. I can't see people disobeying that whatsoever.
In book shops, which I believe are among the first things to open, if you touch a book but don't buy it, that book has to go into quarantine for 4 days so any virus you transmitted to the book can die off. She wasn't quite clear why gloves aren't mandated for book shops in the way they are for grocery shops, but yeah, books in quarantine
She also said the images of the farmer's market in Prague are commonplace around the country, as people went a bit nuts after their 'release'.
This going to be a barrel of fun. I think I’ll just stay in.......

Just been told I have to take a pay cut.
This thing is going to effect so many people in a terrible way. Which makes it worse the cost of living will most likely go up.

Dont think there is one mate - without a vaccine or the virus dying off naturally at some point most of us will have to catch it if its here to stay.
Until the government sort themselves out RE antibody testing we are stuck in lockdown limbo.
It was only a matter of time really.
Via a mate in the North End, I know of a couple of pubs that are open via the back door and the Turkish barbers by me is doing haircuts on the sly too.
