Why we should all wear a mask

While in France the government persists not to return mandatory wearing a mask in the face of the coronavirus epidemic, the facts contradict its position.

On the American site Vox, the journalist German Lopez details the reasons which should push the authorities to impose the masks on the public. While it is true that at the start of the pandemic the consensus within the scientific community was aligned with the decision of the French government, opinions have evolved.

Scientists support wearing mask to counter coronavirus

More and more researchers are today in favor of a compulsory port. The sentiment is even shared by circles as conservative as the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) which has just spoken on the subject.

Obviously, there are the stock issue. While masks are lacking in hospitals, doctors and nurses may no longer be protected against coronavirus if everyone throws themselves on it. Besides, this is surely the main reason for the government’s decision in France.

There is also the may create a false sense of security to the public. Thus, some might start to challenge the confinement or to no longer worry about barrier gestures.

The facts in favor of a compulsory port

Yet around the world, more and more countries require their inhabitants to wear a mouth guard when they set foot outside. There is a lot of data confirming its role in fighting the spread of Covid-19.

According to Raina MacIntyre, a scientist at the University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia), studies show the benefits of the mask against coronavirus. Conducted in households and universities, this research indicates its probable effectiveness in environments where there is less contact between individuals.

Simply put, Covid-19 is spread when respiratory droplets infected with the virus reach a person's mouth, nose or eyes. So, the mask constitutes a physical barrier against the coronavirus.

The mask against healthy carriers of coronavirus

However, the most important argument for everyone to wear a mask is that many people are unaware of the coronavirus. Gold, the government is asking the sick to put it, in addition to medical staff.

However, what to do with those who are contagious, but who show no symptoms and do not realize it? The only solution to this problem is the universal wearing of the mask.

In any case, it will obviously be necessary that doctors and nurses are the first to receive them when the next stocks are delivered. So if you have surgical masks at health home, consider donating them to a hospital for the time being. Having said that, these out of stock highlight the dysfunctions of our medical system. To see if the President will learn from this crisis once it is over.
