Masks for everyone is how we squash it.

Too many essential employees and too many shoppers for essential items aren’t wearing them, so it’s still spreading.

Masks are essentially useless. Most aren't fine enough to actually filter out the viral particles, and people don't even wear them correctly - plenty of people cover mouth but not nose, wear it under their chin, have a beard so there's no seal, continue wearing it for longer than it's good for, then wear it multiple days. They don't follow decon procedures AT ALL - do YOU even know the proper way to remove PPE without spreading contamination? Hint, no touching keys or cell or other while out, getting in/out of your car, etc etc. A lot of people wearing "masks" just have a bandanna wrapped around their face. Sure, it'll protect you from dust and wind, but that's completely useless for medical issues. Many people just have cloth and rubber bands, a tshirt, etc.
Hell, I even saw one lady wearing a full respirator, but I'd bet dollars to donuts she hadn't changed out her canisters since she bought it.

Not to mention the health issues with long-term wearing of a mask - as it gets damp from breath, it tends to collect more particles from the air like dust, pollens, or other freefloating bacteria/viri. They restrict your oxygen intake, as breaths are harder to pull in, plus you're breathing in half of your just-exhaled CO2. There's a poster on here who actually had a near-medical emergency due to low oxygen levels from his mask.
Not to mention masks are crazy uncomfortable and rebreathing your air isn't pleasant anyway.

They do need to cover their noses instead of letting them slip down, but the purpose of everyone wearing a mask isn’t to prevent them from inhaling something. It’s to catch particles produced by their own coughing. Surgical masks don’t form seals either - they’re for protecting patients against surgical infections in patients and only protect staff against large droplets.

I have some 3M N95 masks I got for gardening (to not inhale fungus when turning compost). But I discovered since that they definitely aren’t medical grade. There’s a one-way valve which means coughed out material will come right out the front.
