Ok, let's follow the science.
First, let's start with masks. From the Annals of Internal Medicine: "In conclusion, both surgical and cotton masks seem to be ineffective in preventing the dissemination of SARS–CoV-2 from the coughs of patients with COVID-19 to the environment and external mask surface."
https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-1342 This was a study done with 4 participants who coughed into a petri dish from 8 inches away! No way a surgical or cloth mask will protect you from a cough from such close range!
Read the comments following this crap study.
Cloth masks are estimated by one respected biologist to block 50 to 70 percent of viral particles.
Masks work. The four countries with this virus most under control: South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan, are also the countries with the most widespread mask use.
