NPHET have generally been very cautious though, so I presume it's well justified by the data. Easy for me to say though, I'm not particularly at risk.
It does sound like there'll still be fairly strong advice to keep wearing them for a while, it'll be interesting to see how many people do
I must admit I thought they would keep them at a bare minimum for public transport, the poor staff on those buses and trams... *shudders* Thank God I don't use it very often!
I'll still be using mine for a while anyways, mainly cos I've an absolute fuckton of disposables that I'd rather see put to use than go to waste!!!
