    This is my main problem with masks. The majority of people going out and about to the shops aren't at any serious risk of covid-19. It's a whole lot of waste just to make healthy but anxious people feel better. Let's not pretend it's the at risk groups pushing for others to wear masks, it's the worried well.

    There is some medical evidence that many people with mild or asymptomatic disease have permanent subclinical lung damage. Countries with widespread infection may face a large future health burden.

    Plus if you look at the original SARS patients lots of them ended up with CFS, headaches, dysatonomia etc. YEARS later.
