Provocation: Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?

LI: To identify and consider the two perspectives of this provocation to help me form an opinion.

             

A provocation is an action or speech that triggers strong feelings about a topic. Today in groups for reading, Name, Name, Name and I thought about both sides of the provocation, ‘Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?’. We used our smart searching skill and information to help us form an opinion that we could justify with evidence and provide strong evidence for each opinion. On November 19th, masks are going to be required to use on public transport (buses, trains) My opinion is undecided as masks are help reduce the amount of cases of corona virus, like  Professor Michael Baker has said "I'm not in any way saying we don't need to wash our hands - I think that's vital - but actually mask use is almost certainly more effective at containing COVID-19” At the same time I disagree, as peoples rights will be taken away, like Jamie-Lee-Ross said, and people won't be able to use public transportation, due to not having a mask or not wearing it.
