The Czech Republic is an interesting study

Everyone is making and wearing masks and their numbers are down.

“The Czech Republic is one of the few in Europe that has significantly slowed down the spread of the virus,” the narrator says. “The main difference is that everyone who has to leave their house has to wear a mask.”

In an effort to set a public example, Babiš and other politicians have addressed parliament and made national television appearances wearing masks.


But rather than provide the masks itself, the government has relied on the initiative of ordinary Czechs to ensure compliance with a rule issued days after a general emergency was declared that sealed the central European country’s borders and closed all but essential shops and services – a move that transformed the tourist hub of Prague into a virtual ghost town.

Meanwhile yesterday Don the Con and the rest of the clown show weren't even practicing social distancing.

about the Czech's efforts! They seem to have the right idea.

Here's an easy peasy and cheap mask to make at home... (I saw this along with the video you posted).

Community. Something our out-of-town population don't get. Locals are getting it, well except for a few T-humpers.
