At the very start of the pandemic, the WHO was saying wait for it, wait for it, ..., its not a pandemic yet. At that time Expats were persuaded to collect masks and ship them to Wuhan. Later, our politicians put in an order for masks--two empty cargo planes of "masks" were shipped to us (due to problems in loading the planes).
Short answer: masks are effective.
Governments have a duty to enforce mask usage. Even if they are used with a low efficiency, the impact on dampening a pandemic is profound.
But, what followed was a tragicomedy of politician behavior.
be well
