It's not rocket science. Yes, some people are going to wear them incorrectly. People will reuse them. People will touch their faces sometimes. Taking all of that into account. If EVERYONE wore masks out in public and gatherings, it would GREATLY mitigate the spread of this virus. It would be a gigantic preventative measure and maybe, just maybe, we could actually, do shit once this starts to die down.
Even if everyone wore JUST wore a scarf over their faces, it would still HELP.
Anything over a face, a mouth, eyes will HELP. Some help more than others. Some things like N95 masks REALLY help.
It's a staple in asian cultures and and it has been shown to significantly mitigate transmission, even when the average joe wears them.
