To reassure the lemmings that their government is "doing something."


Hardly.

Unlike in most other countries, masks are neither supplied not mandatory
for the public in the UK. The government has always made clear that they
were of no benefit to the wearer, and of limited benefit to others. It's
always insisted that medical grade PPE was reserved for health care
professionals, not the public.

In this respect at least, the government has been unusually honest, clear
and right.
