TLDR US: https://www.youtube.com/tldrnewsus
TLDR EU: https://www.youtube.com/tldrnewseu
Despite the scientific and medical advice, some still seem sceptical about the idea of wearing a face mask. The rationale changes from person to person, but many seem to believe masks impede their freedom and could potentially make them ill. In this video, we examine masks, discuss if they work and consider the validity of these conspiracy theories.
