Masks protect others quite well from your spray. Mask protection to yourself is less although a good fitting N95 or even KN94 goes a long way towards reducing your exposure. If everyone wore masks properly the rate of spread would slow considerably and studies have confirmed this. If everyone was vaxxed AND wore masks AND socially distanced we could get the pandemic way down.
It’s so simple and yet there are so many who don’t understand how masks work. Or perhaps they choose not to understand since it does not fit their agenda.

Yes, we need to stop the insanity. Universal masking and vaccinations are our best tools to get life back to normal. Travel to a country that is implementing these measures well and you will see how normal life can be as long as everyone follows these common sense measures.
