Whether masks filter out Covid, or if they prevent people from spitting on you when they talk is all irrelevant. Because there are these things called Unintended Consequences.
People put on, and take off, their masks wiping their germ and virus covered hands all over it. Then they put those germ and virus covered masks back on their face.
It doesn't matter if N95 masks work when used properly, or if you can't blow out a candle wearing a cloth mask. Due to unintended consequences masks spread more germs and viruses, and they guarantee that the people wearing them will breathe in and spread far, far, more viruses than if they don't wear them.
Again, the debate on whether masks block the virus, or if they stop people from spitting when they talk is irrelevant due to the unintended consequences of wearing masks.
I know. I watch people use the same paper mask for weeks. There are several cars running around here with several paper masks hanging from their mirrors, and there's more mask garbage on the ground than cigarette butts these days.
