Covid 19, Face Masks Malaysia : Not Mandatory To Wear Face Masks In Public?

That Covid 19 is not your average pathogen is not something anyone wants to dispute.

Unlike other pathogens, one might be infected with the virus and yet not suffer or exhibit any symptoms.

And unlike other sicknesses, a person who is infected with Covid 19 but not exhibiting or having any symptoms can still infect others. That is the scary part.

Since the disease is spread from the droplets of the person infected who sneezes or coughs, how best to help prevent its spread to others in public?

Other than social distancing, what better way to protect other people from being infected than to wear something that will help prevent infected droplets from hitting them?

Yet, we have our genius government telling supermarkets and other outlets to desist from stopping people who do not wear face masks from entering their premises.

Is this how we will help in the fight against the uncompromising Covid 19 monster?

Are we saying that wearing face masks in public or not, makes no difference at all? Are we denying that Covid 19 is spread from droplets of the infected persons?

One wears a face mask to, firstly, protect others. And secondly, to help oneself from being infected.

However, when one is wearing a face mask while others don't, it does only so much and no more. For one could still be infected if  infected droplets get into the eyes, no?

Moo's backdoor government should not go for half measures.

Take a look at how China deals with Covid 19 and learn from it before Bolehland is hit with a second wave as businesses open up.

The western half-past-six measure of wear-a-mask-don't-wear-a-mask-makes-no-difference mumbo jumbo is just that. Look at why the west is so badly hit with Covid 19 monster with high number of infections and deaths.

Then, for goodness's sake, make wearing face masks in public mandatory!

Don't pussyfoot when you are dealing with a monster that won't compromise.

It spares no one.

It only cares for its meal - you!
