Even if masks worked 100% you're forgetting the general maintenance of the mask as well as ignoring the biggest vector of any disease: hands.
General maintenance of masks
There is no 'general maintenance' on masks.
You cannot re wear them. You cannot wash them. They go into a yellow bag with a black infectious substance symbol on them and are disposed of by a specialised waste company. Because theyre a fuckin biohazard.
If youre talking the kinds of reusable plastic/rubber type masks... thats a whole other kettle of fish and if youre using one of those for this i can fucking guarantee you that you have no clue what type of filter it came with, what that filter is appropriate for, or anything else to do with a mask.
You dont see doctors wearing those in a hospital. In a genuine life threatening pamdemic theyre in full body jumpsuits with sealed faces. The shit you see them wearing in movies is for dramatic effect.
You use the wrong filter in the wrong toxic gas environment and youll die quicker than not using the mask at all, ask anyone you know whp works in petrochem.
You can re-wear these, and they’re exactly as effective as when brand new:
