> the government of Czech Republic made masks (of any type, including self made or even scarfes) mandatory while out of home.

That is an amazingly forward-thinking position that we should applaud. The mask thing will be one of those “obvious” things that we’ll look back on in a couple of years and shake our heads at.

Unfortunatelly, this (mandatory masks) seems like one of the Czech Republic rules that has not yet been widely copied elsewhere.

BTW, its quite an interesting cognitive change - basically in a span of about two days everyone in public has a mask, even anchors and politicians in news coverage! Even the sign language interpetters!

Also I found out I feel rather uneasy now watching footage from affected areas, some of them in worse situation than us, with people not wearing any masks.

Such a simple way to protect otjers once you thing about it a bit, yet not universally adopted so far...
