I think they are clean, health-conscious people, but there's been stuff in the tabloids recently about them and their strange culinary habits. Have I bought one? No.
Because, allegedly, most masks are useless, you need to protect your eyes as well, how many for how long 100, 200 or more?

You'd best buy plenty of wet wipes before they disappear as well.

I'm also becoming paranoid about germs and I'm getting ocd with washing my hands and wiping my surfaces down with dettol wipes, of course I wash my hands but I'm taking it a bit far, I can't seem to help it. I think I need help, I bet i'm not alone either with this virus.
One thing, my house has never been as clean lol

Re: Coronavirus Face Masks
Read this very informative document.https://www.newscientist.com/article...d-19-pandemic/
In addition to everything else, it explains that these ubiquitous face masks are ineffective as a means of personal protection.

Re: Coronavirus Face Masks
Hand sanitiser is a waste of money apparently the best method is washing your hand with soap and water for 20 seconds and then drying them thoroughly (that is important).Another important procedureis to try not to touch your face and cough into your elbow.
As for masks they reckon wearing them is pointless unless you have covid19 when you should wear a mask.
