WNU Editor: I live in Montreal and we have had a mandatory mask-use-order for the past few months. But yesterday we broke the record on Covid-19 infections. This failure should surprise no one. Most masks that people wear are not effective and/or they do not use them properly. In my case I am always using an N-95 mask. I rarely see anyone else wear what I wear.
