The recommendation against masks was probably a knee-jerk reaction. Or maybe a bureaucratic "we know better than you" reaction

At the same time the amount of people that think that have the mask below the nose or just at the chin or mishandling it because it feels "uncomfortable" to them is astounding. I'm not sure but I believe an intubation is more uncomfortable (and yes these are predominantly people at risk ages)

This is so very, very annoying. I saw my parents-in-law yesterday, and both of them were wearing masks incorrectly.

It's just so pointless to go to the bother of getting a mask and then wear it in such a way that you get no benefits from it.
