Update to the Masks:

A Germnan Podcast with virologist Mr. Drosten discussed the Topic at series 19 of the Podcast from today: https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/podcast4684.html
Transcription will appear here during the next hours https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/Coronavirus-Update-Die-Podcast-Folgen-als-Skript,podcastcoronavirus102.html


The short summary is:

Yes, we should all wear masks, but NOT for selfprotection, but to protect everyone around us if we were infected. But: We should wear selfmade masks, because the good masks, suitable for selfprotection are now needed by the doctors.

The reason is exactly to protect others if you are infected, because you can be infected and spreading the virus without having any sympthoms and without knowing.

I hope not!  :)

It is actually a very good beer with a slice of lime, on a hot day, working on a classic car under a shade tree...

The depends on whether they're still around when this is over. If yes, then they'll soar. Everyone will want to have one to celebrate their "victory".

Exactly.  Even something as simple as a winter scarf (the thick woolly kind, that will trap moisture and droplets in exhalations) will help a lot, for those who dislike the idea of wearing a mask.
