 If lots of people aren’t masking, or staying home when sick, and we know that 1 in 10 of all cases result in long covid, and 55% of cases are asymptomatic, but the more times you catch covid the more likely you are to need hospital or ICU and long term care (likely from unpaid family members), and brain damage occurs in every case, then why aren’t (at the very least) our NZ politicians masking?

Interestingly I had to go to the Respiratory Clinic at the CHC hospital this week.  All staff in the clinic masked (most K95 or equivalent).

The only other patients there unmasked, unless you count the one who got the wrong place.

And whole hospital, I'd say under 5% were masked - staff and patients/visitors.

Too much winning.
