Unfortunately the 'best available scientific evidence' doesn't actually amount to very much with respect to the effectiveness of masks in real life situations.  Which is really quite shocking when so many people have been required to wear them for so long, and most have willingly done so bas...

...ed only on a 'belief that they work' (as others have said on this forum).  

With all the many billions spent in response to Covid, could the authorities not have spent some of it finding out which restrictions actually work and which don't?   The answer is that they haven't done that research because it might reveal that they've done something wrong, which is the last thing that any politician or civil servant would want to do.

Hi John

I think that people who will continue wearing a mask (no need for multiple masks John, that’s just silly) will do just that; continue.

You state it’s your right not to wear a mask; it is. However, I don’t think that those who will continue to wear one will be mocking or questioning the judgement of those who, when rules allow, refrain from doing so.

As for asking me why drivers, alone in their cars, wear masks, I have no idea. If you ask me to guess, or say what my postman said (who delivers by car) “I can’t be bothered putting it on and taking it off; I just leave it on, it’s easier”.

I asked “Even if we were to accept it does no good, does it do any harm?” Other than    “I don’t like it”, does it? 🤪🥂

It depends on what you believe  ,there are optimistic people  who just want to get on with life ,and they see the reduction of government restrictions as a good thing and being on the road back to normality  contrast that with pessimistic people when they hear of government restric...

...tions easing ,they think right away that their lives are going to be made worse ,they are happy with the way life has become ,this is normality to them ,people wearing masks outdoors when nobody about and solo i n cars ,my attitude is if people wish to hang onto restrictions when no longer required, then go ahead but dont expect others to live in Covid world ,also while I'm at it ,anybody who has time on their hands maybe they can put it to better use rather than tour bars to check that nobody is breaking Spanish law

John, I don't insist you wear a mask in Spain - the law does!  

Difficult to respond to the rest of your post, as there appear to be words missing.  However, you should expect a robust response from your sweeping generalisation that those of us who comply with the regulations that protect not just ourselves, but others too, are "pessimistic", that we thi...

Hi Gordon,

There have been numerous studies into the effectiveness of mask-wearing in preventing the spread of Covid-19.  There's even the anecdotal evidence of the almost non-existent incidence of deaths by influenza during the last winter period because of people adopting the required safety precauti...

Hi,

Local Guides is a global community of explorers who write reviews, share photos, answer questions, add or edit places and check facts on Google Maps. Millions of people rely on contributions like yours to decide where to go and what to do.

Sounds like you can to sign up to be a local guide, similar to posting on Tripadvisor. I have left a couple of reviews on Google without signing up so I don't think you need to become a local guide.

By the way, I could not find any sign of the alleged posts on google or tripadvisor, don't know if you had any luck.

Aitch.

Every one i know, my wife included has had to wear a mask atleast 12hrs a day for work and never went out, they all got covid.
