...and this is why it’s prudent to wear a mask for the time being. It reduces the chances of contracting the virus, or spreading it yourself if you are a carrier.
Proof not anecdotes?
Not true.
The masks people are wearing will not protect anyone from the virus. The virus can go through them. Imagine wearing them for a long time how filthy those masks really are.
..and this is why its prudent to wear a mask for the time being=BS. Masks stop Covid like a chain link fence stops dust. Hope you like being controlled.

At present, there is no direct evidence (from studies on COVID-19 and in healthy people in the community) on the effectiveness of universal masking of healthy people in the community to prevent infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.
And
At the present time, the widespread use of masks by healthy people in the community setting is not yet supported by high quality or direct scientific evidence and there are potential benefits and harms to consider...
Stuff your mask where the sun don’t shine.
You mean masks that you can blow out a match through?
Don’t be so gullible McFly!
Not true. Aerosol droplets are <2.5um in size. That is too small for any mask to catch. Either breathing in or out.
Cloth masks pass thru 97% of such droplets, and surgical masks 44%. There are references for this.
And, a single droplet contains enough virus to infect anyone. Masks are worthless, and CDC/WHO have known this for quite some time.
