    Mediums article was yes, his research, not yet.

    But it's safe to say all animals should wear masks. Especially arthropods...

    Airborne Transmission
    Airborne transmission, resulting in infection of the respiratory tract, occurs via droplets and droplet nuclei (aerosols) emitted from infected animals during coughing or sneezing (e.g., influenza) or from environmental sources such as dander or dust from bedding (e.g., Marek's disease). Large droplets settle quickly, but microdroplets evaporate, forming droplet nuclei (less than 5 μm in diameter) that remain suspended in the air for extended periods. Droplets may travel only a meter or so, but droplet nuclei may travel long distances—many kilometers if wind and other weather conditions are favorable

    was in a restaurant in Stanley that had a sign on each table saying please wear a mask before and after eating, also have been hearing the locals talk on the minibus of people getting fined for not wearing a mask in a restaurant before or after eating.

    I cant find any such law or rule either but from what im hearing its happening.

    Well, it's obviously BS, but that's the only time you are legally required to wear a mask. At a restaurant, while not eating or drinking. So basically never, because that's the reason you are at a restaurant in the first place. You don't have to wear a mask anywhere else, even when you are not eating and drinking. Government logic at its finest.

    Since restaurants that aren't mainly serving alcohol are still allowed to serve it with food, never running out of beers to drink is an easy way around the mandatory mask bullshit.

    Joke's on you, we just never let our glasses get empty. Had a nice lunch at a German restaurant with a few beers, coz I had a "craving" and there are still plenty of places open.

    is this correct?

    Wearing a face mask is certainly not an iron-clad guarantee that you won’t get sick – viruses can also transmit through the eyes and tiny viral particles, known as aerosols, can penetrate masks. However, masks are effective at capturing droplets, which is a main transmission route of coronavirus, and some studies have estimated a roughly fivefold protection versus no barrier alone (although others have found lower levels of effectiveness).

    If you are likely to be in close contact with someone infected, a mask cuts the chance of the disease being passed on. If you’re showing symptoms of coronavirus, or have been diagnosed, wearing a mask can also protect others. So masks are crucial for health and social care workers looking after patients and are also recommended for family members who need to care for someone who is ill – ideally both the patient and carer should have a mask.


    However, masks will probably make little difference if you’re just walking around town or taking a bus so there is no need to bulk-buy a huge supply.

    Most of the new cases announced on Saturday are, for now, unlinked to previously known cases or clusters. Contact tracing is underway for these 119 cases.
