To me it just seems that while it does provide an minimal amount of protection it is largely a psychological security.
I have a tendency to get very sore ears when I get sick, especially when I get a cold. I had doctors tell me throughout my life that my ears are the culprit and to make sure I don't over-clean then in the cold\flu season.
Point is, your mouth and nose are not the only ways to get the virus. And even with these masks people are wearing they are still not protecting your mouth and nose like you think. I have read article after article and heard doctor after doctor state just that as well.

I also wear sunglasses when I use a mask, you keep forgetting the main purpose for the mask is to protect others .
