Be very afraid.
"The researchers also found that none of those passengers in the two buses who wore face masks were infected."
I've found it interesting that Asian governments have generally encouraged their people to wear masks, whilst Western governments have given the opposite advice.
This is very scary and worrying....There are no masks in the West, not even coming close enough to suffice for healthcare workers...that alone explains the recommendation.
