MASKS: SAFETY BUT DANGEROUS

So we are here to talk about masks, I am not going to get you bored while reading but first we have to know how and when masks has started to be used by us.

MASKS: ORIGIN

Its unbelievable but the first thing that has been recorded to be used in term of masks has been in 6th century BC whose images are found on the doors of persian tombs.

Later, a scarf like object which is most similar to today's masks were used by women of china. The trend has spread from their to the rest of the whole world. It taked a fire when a Scottish scientist Robert Brown discovered "Brownian motion", which theoretically proved the protective effect of masks on dust in 1827.

Further later in 1861, a famous French biologist, microbiologist and chemist Louis Pasteur proved the presence of bacteria in the air, which made more people pay attention to the design of modern masks. Through many fatal diseases and pollution of smog from modern industry sectors, the materials in masks have continued to evolve to better filter viruses and pollution. Then in 2012, The last large-scale use of masks in China was due to smog. That year, the term "PM2.5" began to enter in public awareness, and mask models such as N95 and KN90, which can filter out this fine particulate matter, gain highly popularly.

MASKS: A GENUINE NEED BEFORE COVID-19

To be honest, I would thank COVID-19 to teach us about the importance of The mask which daily public don't know. I have read some surveys and according to that 60% of the people don't know about the importance of masks before COVID-19 or before 2020. In total, before COVID-19 masks are generally used by ill persons that have having cough or fever or any viral infection disease, by surgical doctors and nurses, and some of the daily persons whom its importance has been known.

If I talk about business or demand of masks, It has been 80% increased after COVID-19, so you can understand  how the market for the business of marks manufactures has increased.

COVID-19 EFFECT ON MASKS:

The main jump in the importance of masks came with the entry of COVID-19 and now after people came to know how important masks are in our daily life and why we should use them in our daily life whether there is a disease spreading outside or not.

But as you know no there is exception in every case some people today's world also so don't wear marks and that's very bad for themselves and if you know someone could also don't there marks please tell then how important is this in this crucial time why the whole world is suffering and thousands of people are dying everyday.

THE DARK ASPECT ON WORLD:

Now, as you know about the history of Masks and the the demands off marks before epidemic and now I would like to tell you about the dark and the bad aspects of this which has came over the world since the growth of masks has increased enormously. And you know where growth increases in scams also.

SCAMS: If you search in India about scam in masks there will be a big list. Like some posts that i found are:

1.Fake Police Bulletin Warning Of Face Mask Scam Viral On Social Media.

2.PPE, mask purchase is mega scam.

3.Almost $800 Million In Mask Scams Alleged In The U.S. Alone

And many more....

Fashion: 

Many people had made wearing masks a fashion, yes I agree we can take it as a fashion but that doesn't mean you refused safety as I have seen such fashionable marks having sold all quality of cloth and fabric that cannot prevent droplets of the virus. And many social influencers are promoting these types of masks and their fans and followers are purchasing them but they also don't know the truth about it. 

Business: 

The most dark aspect of this is in business .I don't believe yesterday I searched N95 masks and I have seen a price range from 200 rupees to 2000 rupees.

Some people would say that it varies from brand to brand and quality to quality but you should understand that 2000 rupees is so much big price for a piece of mask that some genuine companies are also selling for rupees 200. If you you ever came across about the manufacturing of these masks, you would get to know that some people are earning 20X profit from them.

I am not suggesting to stop earning any profit but I am telling that if you could sell those same product at a 

reasonable price so that a middle class or a poor person could buy it for their safety then it would be more appropriate as per humanity also.

I am not saying all the branch do this but most of the bank do this there are also some genuine brands which gives the best quality in the best price that up brand could offer to its lowest.
