Well done, public advice has caught up with you.
Kind of. I recall you advised heavy-duty masks, not just three layers of fabric stitched together.
This is because the evidence has been built up that widespread mask-wearing might have an effect on transmission. It's not conclusive, and the public health advice is at least partly to reassure people that it's safe to go out again.
Still, it doesn't change the fact that your original insistence on masks wasn't evidence-based. You'd just seen one expert say something, and then proceeded to ram it down everyone's throats like you'd single-handedly discovered the cure for cancer.
The fact that you accidentally backed a horse that may (or may yet not) be the 'right' one doesn't change the fact that the hostile reaction you received was about 95% down to you being such an obnoxious fucking prick about it.

Many reputable studies show that it is effective to wear a mask.
There really is no debate on that fact now.
At the time I advised N95 masks or better. You can see an N95 Mask in the thumbnail above. Hardly heavy duty
and don't you think that the W.H.O. would be recommending N95 masks instead of home made ones if they were ubiquitous? Think a little next time.

" You'd just seen one expert say something, and then proceeded to ram it down everyone's throats like you'd single-handedly discovered the cure for cancer."
I used one expert as an example, which is different to "just seeing one expert say something". As to ramming down peoples throats: If you got that impression it's because I was reacting to the fucking shitty and stupid attitude of wankers as quoted above. (you included) Had they not done that, or thought critically and logically then the conversation would have been more like, "cheers for the link". "you're welcome"
