Should I Wear A Mask?

There’s a debate going on. But while the experts argue backwards and forwards and the rest of us need to get on with our lives, we’ve put this page together to give you some straightforward answer with links to useful information so you can judge for yourself whether a mask is right for you and your family.

Some Experts Say No!

The CASE AGAINST – Why?

People don’t wear their mask properly.
Even improperly worn mask will stop you from touching your face.

The virus is so small it’ll pass through all but the best masks. 
Large droplets from coughs and sneezes don’t pass through – reducing risk.

It isn’t the done thing.
Aussies are sensible, they learn pretty fast too, those of us switched on to reducing transmission with a mask are the smart ones, the rest will catch up. Be a trend setter with a nice Fashionable Mask from our shop.

Some Experts Say Yes!

THE CASE FOR WEARING A MASK IN PUBLIC.

Operate as if you’re infected to protect everyone else.
Protect everyone you meet and encounter by ensuring you minimise droplets you leave behind.

Countries around the world have huge success, this indicates that Masks work.
Not just Asian countries where masks are often the norm, the Czech Republic in Eastern Europe indicates the benefit of masks.

If you get exposed the amount of virus that can enter is smaller with a mask.
We explain this further below.

Chris Martenson has been drawing attention to countries that are working hard to tackle COVID-19 like the Czech Republic, Taiwan and others for weeks.

Masks worked back in 1918 and we believe it’ll work today in 2020 for the same three reasons.

  1. Stop symptomatic & asymptomatic spreaders.
  2. To help us not touch our faces (mouth, nose and eyes), and
  3. Reduce the volume or virus transmitted to ‘small doses’

The video from Chris Martenson at Peak Prosperity (above) is very clear about  this. We recommend watching at the part we’ve bookmarked.
