"The Mask"
- Traditional surgical masks are tk. 5 per piece. But those don't prevent virus.
- For it you need N95 mask. Not available in pharmacy but selling on Daraz online store. Tk. 100 to 300 per piece. And those can't be worn a second time. You need to throw those out. Not throwing out after use increases your chance of infection than not wearing any at all.
- Masks "just slightly" reduce possibility of an infection. Not worth the cost or hassle. The China styled "everyone must wear a mask while outdoors" law isn't supported by CDC, the US body, which I take as more reliable and less showing off "look the government is doing something."
- Masks are selling out in all countries in the west, Australia, Thailand, Philippines, China, Honk Kong. Plus the largest producers are China/HK who have banned all mask export further increasing the crisis worldwide.
- Now do I need to buy masks? Not if you are practical and can move against the tide. But you *will* have to, if you own a family who will inevitably cry "can't you just provide us a simple mask!" :-)
