Personnel
gollark: At least them being bad about it makes me feel better about the UK not doing particularly well!
gollark: Masks are almost certainly in the "worth it" box, since the only major downside is that... masks are somewhat expensive?
gollark: I mean, generally speaking, because sometimes preventing people from dying now incurs significant costs of various kinds.
gollark: I don't wear masks, although I would if I actually *had any* and was going out.
gollark: "we can't immediately totally fix it and it's not a problem which has affected me yet so let's ignore it"
