In order for us to buy surgical face masks in Western countries at such cheap prices, they have to be made in sweat shops in India and China. Unfortunately in their quest to produce face masks that are so cheap and cheerful that they can be shipped to UK and USA - the sweatshops hire the cheapest labour for peanuts and make them work day and night. You can stop this sort of exploitation by not buying any surgical face masks but I doubt the dumb brain washed sheeple will want to do that. I kind of feel sorry for the guys working in such sweat shops as they have no social security or benefits to rely upon, if they don't work for peanuts, they go hungry. ☹☹☹☹☹
