Health and Human Services Secretary of the US came out on TV and said where they found at 1m if both people wearing masks, it can reduce viral transmission by 70% therefore protecting both the infected from spreading the virus and the wearer.
One thing Dr. Henry said today bothered me. A reporter asked what will she say to the business owners that are having difficulties enforcing mask wearing in their establishment because customers would say "Dr. Henry tells me I don't have to wear one so you can't force me to."
Dr. Henry replied that businesses need to include mask wearing in their covid safety plan which is more enforceable than her making it an order to wear a mask and it's an expectation to wear a mask in public indoor spaces in this province which people know.
Clearly the owner of these businesses have mandated mask wearing that's why they're hearing these comments and I've seen enough covid safety plans to say most require masks.
Dr. Henry did not answer the question but rather putting it back onto the business owners that are asking for her guidance.

Honestly, I'm sick and tired of this BS.
We need to mandate masks.
If there's a second lockdown, my life (and that of my household) will not change much. If your life changes drastically, you're the reason why there's a second lockdown.
