Face masks prevent you from touching your mouth or nose with your hands-—that is how the China Virus is spread.
One NY hospital doc said, “This is not aerolsol-ized. You can’t get it in the air unless someone coughs right in your face.”
He urges masks, only as a preventitve to remind you to not touch your face, and to wash frequently.

No, you’re wrong. With COVID-19just aspirating (breathing) is what spreads the virus. The mask protects others from you. If everyone wears one, the virus is drastically reduced.

Just got back from the store. Saw one woman wearing a mask with her nose poking out. 🙄

This is nonsense.
It HAS been shown to spread very well in droplet and AEROSOL form. Aerosol particles can hang in the air for 30 minutes and contaminate several meters away. These are FACTS at present.
If everyone wore a mask in public we could cut transmission by as much as 80%.

LOL! Pretty sad joke, though, considering what's predictably happening in New York.
