At best, the mask is a placebo - I know people who wear them and swear by them. If you try to explain what you just said (not using it properly, reusing them, putting them in bags/pockets between use) they don't seem to care. They believe it's protecting them and I think belief is more powerful than we realize.
no such thing as proper use of a mask with regards to this scamdemic...do the math on the size of the virus vs size of holes in mask.
I know what you’re saying, but that’s not my point.
My point is that even if the mask was 100% effective at blocking the virus (though it is not) that the general public is not using the mask properly.
I have seen politicians shove the mask by its face into their pockets and then re-use it; completely failing proper use of the mask.
