Coronavirus: should everyone be wearing face masks?

i see that the advice of the World Health Organization is to wear masks but which mask they have said about n95 or ffp3 dont these masks have to be worn for a certain length of time , would it make it harder for people to get use to them eg breathing with all ready pre existing conditions like asthma copd etc . but dont you need medical training for these types of masks to make sure that they fit propely , it looks like wearing a mask will be a part of every day life .

I too have seen advice that the whole community should wear masks.

But the government is not recommending it yet …
Perhaps because there is not enough for health professionals as it is.

It makes sense to me that someone’s cough would not travel so far with a mask.

I made my own, however I struggled to breathe in it so gave up!
