My own comment:
Fear mongering. This is *misinformation* from our own Health Minister. Masking (may) work in the laboratory. It does not work in practice. We have plenty of real-world data to prove that. As for kids, they are one thousand times less likely to be harmed than the elderly. We know -- our Health Minister should know -- that for kids it's now no more dangerous, in fact somewhat less, than the flu. This is shocking scare-mongering from a senior official supposed to be an expert.
