It's proven that he only thing masks do is stop particulate matter. It will protect others from your spit if you cough, sneeze or talk like Sylvester the cat. Masks obviously will not stop an airborne virus so small one needs a electron microscope to actually see it. What masks seem to do more than anything else is provide a false sense of security. Many people feel safe in large gatherings as long as they keep their "protective" mask on so could masks actually be causing a faster spread of the virus as opposed to slowing it?
