The idea is to mitigate aerosolized virus due to a cough or sneeze *from* an
infected source. A simple particulate filter to protect from receiving the
virus is analogous to using electrical tape to prevent STDs.
In a perfect world, yes every single person gets a mask. It’s not a perfect
world though so priority is given in this regard.

Norman, Rand:
Please correct me if I’ve got this wrong but it has previously been my
understanding that only a Level 3 or better facility has in place filters
capable of capturing virus particles. This based on a visit to a Level 4
facility.
I have previously understood that no face mask can filter virus particles and
that conventional face masks create, after a few minutes use, exactly the warm
and wet environment in which bacteria and viruses thrive.
The utility of such masks for medical personal is—as I understand it—only to
avoid sputum in the air from coughing.
Is this all wrong?

Herd immunity is every country's strategy, UK was just more honest about it

soon as they gradually restart the economy.
The several days of
asymptomatic contagiousness is just really tough to get around.
