Missiles, bombs, covert forces are proven to stop an enemy time after time. Are the experts 100% in agreement that the mask stops the the microscopic enemy? What's crazy is I now know 5 people who've tested positive, 3 with very mild symptoms, only 1 thought he might have it and was tested, the others were just tested as part of work procedure and had no idea. None of the family members got the virus, that’s 5 positives living with 15 other spouses and children who never got it living in a confined area, no masks worn in the home, all families quarantined 14 days. Seems to be consistent with the Walmart and grocery stores.
Nothing is 100%. Similar story in my family. I've said before that I fully believe the corona effects will be nailed down to DNA markers similar to strep and cilantro. I'm confident that wearing a mask won't for sure prevent a person getting it, but there's no reason a person shouldn't want to protect themselves at the least. It's such a small ask from those who are experts in the field. But typically, you can't ask people to save themselves until they've been affected. It's not until then they usually open their eyes to a world so broad.
They might as well pick their nose and wipe it on a door knob. Same thing. The mask just complicates the behavior and gathers and concentrates the virus infested droplets. No, it might be worse than picking their nose and wiping it on a door knob. I know it sounds gross, but sometimes the truth is repulsive. (I hope I didn't elicit a gag response from any of you.)

The science now says you're very unlikely to contract covid-19 by picking it up off a surface.
