Have to somewhat disagree with basic masks protecting people from getting Covid. They don't offer complete protection if much at all IMO, unless the masks you wear are medical grade FPP3 in the EU and UK or N95 masks in the US. This is also the reason why there was so much media outcry last year with the lack of medical PPE in the UK and elsewhere
My wife tested positive on a LFT on Sunday and her PCR taken on Monday confirmed said result. I in turn tested positive on a LFT test on Thurs and this was confirmed with my PCR taken the same day.
With my wife's work the week prior, she had to get in a taxi to go to another site. She was wearing one of these cheap masks, this is most likely where she got it.
Not saying they don't offer some protection, but most certainly don't think you are covered.
Interestingly enough on the vaccines, but myself and my wife have had two doses of Astra Zenica, yet we caught Covid. My son has had one shot of Pfizer a few weeks back at school. His PCR came back negative and every day is still getting a negative LFT. Yet even though we are trying to be careful, he is in a house with his mum and dad and sister all with Covid.
Add to the fact that the UK is only now using Moderna and Pfizer for the booster campaign, seems that AZ is the poor man's vaccine.
