Often heard in NZ that a mask is to protect you from me. Masks are notoriously uncomfortable and so any protection offered to the individual wearing them is a function of how often they do not touch, readjust, fidget with them or wear them on their chin. People struggle to not touch them and to do all of this readjustment frequently. Stop and watch someone. Most will fiddle and readjust the mask several times. Even a medical professional I was watching the other day adjusted, moved, and shifted his mask several times in a 15minute meeting. However, if everyone wears them, those who are infected filter out their ejected virus into the inside of the mask, thus protecting you from them. An online experiment from the science guy in the US, Bill Nye I think his name is, shows clearly what is what. If you can blow a candle out while wearing a 'mask', the so called 'mask' is ineffectual in any capacity to filter virus from being ejected thus potentially infecting a room full.
A scarf or 'mask' that you can blow a candle out with does four fifths of five eighths of very little in terms of protecting others from the wearer and vice versa.
Also a big bug bear of mine is people who wear the N95 mask with the air vent to make it easier to breath out. In terms of protecting others from the virus in case the wearer is contagious, is no value.

should sort all the nutters out eventually....
Not long ago women were being criticised for wearing burqas, but now they seem ahead of their time. [emoji3]
Now that does remind me of the ABBA song, "Going out going in, ah haaaaaa" Hummed to the tune of "Knowing me Knowing you"
What a Group!

There is some scientific evidence about the benefits of masks. Some are certainly better than others and almost all of them are better than nothing.
There is also this interesting, if not scientifically rigorous example.
Two hairdressers in Missouri tested positive. before they were aware of their status, they treated 139 clients. No clients developed symptoms.
The hairdressers and the clients were wearing masks. Maybe masks help reduce the spread.

No, no and no.
Masks are worn to aid in preventing the WEARER passing it on.
Visors are worn to stop it getting from someone's airways into your eyes.
If everyone out in public wears a mask the rate of transmission drops to jack.
Given the wishy washy testing requirement, false results, latent positives, etc, the wearing of masks overrides everything as a way of stopping community transmission.
At any point in time a person generally doesn't know for sure if they have the virus or not, so wearing a mask mitigates the risk of transmission either way.
