Muzzled - Covid-19 masks freedom or safety?
Channel: Political Dregs
Date: 2020-07-20

Masks and face coverings are set to be mandatory in British shops on the pain of a criminal fine. Is this a pragmatic step to keep us safe or a horrible invasion of individual liberty? What’s the evidence they work? Why now not 4 months ago? Should we do anything we can to save the economy? We have a big debate and there are some surprising views.
