What good is a cotton mask, except as a fashion statement.
It sure doesn’t stop dust very well, let alone a virus.

This is the misconception that people have to understand.
The masks for everyone don’t have to be able to stop a virus from getting in. They need to stop a virus from getting out!
Simple surgical masks will stop (mostly) the wearer from spreading the virus. If everyone wears one, the spread of the virus will be slowed significantly.
Everyone doesn’t need an N95 mask. Only healthcare workers need these!
If everyone else can wear a simple surgical mask all the time, they will not be able to spread the virus even if they are asymptomatic and don’t know they have the virus.
It stops the mild cases/asymptomatic cases from spreading it (as much).
