It’s not totally useless, is my point. Of course it’s not perfect protection.

As for virons going in the sides of the mask, they are generally propelled by the speaker, so they head toward the front of the other person’s face.

I understand the objections. I’m in NYC, so I figure our generally good numbers are partly a result of everyone stopping a few virons and it making a difference.

I guess we just disagree. When it comes to such a tiny virus, either a mask protects you or it does not. There isn't any in-between protection.
