A facemask is to keep you from spreading it, it won’t keep you from getting it, only a breather mask, like painters wear can keep you from getting it. People think they don’t have to keep social distancing when wearing a mask, I think it gives them a false sense of security.
If I can find the study, I’ll share it. Even a standard surgical mask drops your likelihood of catching respiratory and flu viruses, making you 62% less likely to catch it. If everyone, or even most people, wore one, the spread would drop quite a bit.

I think that people who are taking the precaution to wear a mask....are also the ones who will social distance/keep space apart, from others.

Please explain how particles can move in one direction, but not the other.
Thanks in advance.
Do you have a citation? I have a number of those. I thought only the N95 masks protected from airborne.
