The Grenfell Tower fire inquiry commenced 15 June 2017 and is still in progress:

The Hillsborough Stadium disaster – following the inquiry, getting justice for those who died took nearly 30 years. It took from April 1989 until June 2017, for charges to be brought against certain individuals for their alleged part in this:

The link below gives some idea of the time frame of how long it took for justice to be eventually obtained for those who died:

That could be a reason too Percy! I believe they stared wearing masks
originally due to high levels of pollution in the atmosphere??
Japan also seem to have adopted masks as a fashion statement
as well!

So why are they not asking everyone here to wear a mask? If everyone does then we are all safer.

It started to be a big thing because of SARS because it stops you spreading infection, rather than stops pollution or such. That's why surgeons wear them during operations. A mask like that won't do anything to stop polluted air.

I disagree Annie, I believe that such masks will prevent pollution and viruses entering the nasals and lungs . I wore masks regularly when I was working in dusty environments and a glance at the outside of the mask afterwards showed just how much pollution would have been inhaled.

I think everyone should be wearing a face covering OGF. But in my experience only an N95 fume filter type mask will keep you safe.
