Nobody is saying the virus isn’t spread through droplets anyway, it’s whether masks stop the spread and there is more to it than just stopping droplets. Touching masks and your face is problematic and spreads it even more.
How many times are people told not to touch the mask? Do people need the warning: "DO NOT TOUCH MASK AFTER WEARING WITHOUT PROPER HAND SANITATION OR HAND WASHING" I can see that on a tag hanging off the mask for the people who ignore the warning on the box or other warnings they get. This is what I call failing to observe the operation instructions. It is called, "Safety first."
