<p>So:<br>
</p>
<p>1) Government acted like soviets in Chernobyl, except that even
less excuses are possible now.</p>
<p>2) Populace notices.</p>
<p>3) There is "domestic t...ts" designation to use in
post-Chernobyl fallout.<br>

<p>Let's remind to ourselves wise words of George (T)Orwell:

No, the laws of physics, chemistry and biology haven't
changed. I am <br>
having flashes of memory to how soviets were handling
Chernobyl. WTF?<br>

<br>
Initially argument was that mask won't completely protect.
Reminder that <br>
95 in N95 stands for a percentage. Anything infront your face
will <br>
reduce chances of getting stuff. Its like security in depth,
no measure <br>
is 100% reliable, but put together, and you are much better
off.<br>
<br>
Now I wonder how much slower virus would have spread, if on
March 1st <br>
we've heard wear bandanas and leave other masks to medical
stuff.<br>
<br>
First, its more difficult to touch face when in mask.<br>
<br>
Second, mask is a reminder about new behaviour to yourself and
to <br>
others, right in the face.<br>
<br>
Its like security in depth, like additional egress filtering
and digital <br>
hygiene. Not perfect, but let us go a long way.<br>
