Actually cloth masks do help prevent the spread. Not of the wearer but of others around them. The cloth masks do help prevent moisture particles containing coronavirus getting propelled a distance into the air when the wearer coughs or sneezes.

Allan here is "Chopper" on the outbreak in Victoria, especially Melbourne and includes a line about Tasmania your home state. Very funny ( warning strong language ). For those that don't know Melbourne it is very much Australia's answer to San Francisco. Culture, Arts and Food. Even the same early 20th century Victorian architecture.
