Masih inget ga di awal-awal wabah virus corona mulai terungkap di Indonesia, pemerintah menganjurkan orang yang sehat untuk TIDAK pakai masker. Masker itu katanya hanya untuk orang yang sakit. Kok pemerintah plin plan? Ngapain sih pakai masker? Emangnya efektif? Masker kain kan ga seefektif surgical mask! Mending pake surgical mask terus disetrika aja biar virus nya mati dan maskernya bisa dipakai terus menerus? Mau tau jawabannya? Tonton terus video ini (Youtube channel: TGIF Hoax Busters)/ dengerin terus podcast ini sampai habis.
