Not sure why I have to justify whether masks reduce transmission. I can only go on what so called experts tell me.
If they do reduce transmission then great - implement them in scenarios where there is an increased risk and not cherry picked locations such as shops and public transport. Not sure if you are going to the Albion this season but the mask wearing must be at best 5% on the concourse and walking around the stadium. All I am saying is that when you implement measures but then only mandate them in specific settings you encourage people to defy the rules. If as you say there is a nuance to this argument then of course doing something is better than doing nothing. However after 18 months of this people are getting bored so half hearted measures are less likely to be tolerated.
