I have full faith in NSW doing a good job- we are on the same page here.
Regarding mandating mask use, I’ve only got quals as a pilot so this is the best risk analogy I’ve got:
If you have windshear on the ATIS for takeoff do you?
A: Use normal takeoff figures because it doesn’t look too bad outside (people who won’t wear a mask because they don’t like the feel of them).
Or
B: Use full thrust with windshear figures and give yourself the best chance possible (Mandate mask use until they are certain it’s under control, knowing more people will wear them if they have to).
