Water droplet land on mask, you breathe in the pathogen from said water droplet for hours on end because its on your mask.
Which could make masks even less effective as they dry out the droplets, releasing viral particles into the air in a form not stoppable by any mask. There is possibly a time component to it such that if you wear a mask for longer than a certain period of time its effectiveness wanes or even becomes negative.
