Are you wearing a mask to protect others when you can not be guaranteed to keep your distance from people? I have a feeling most people out and about who are wearing masks believe the masks are protecting them. They have no clue they are not really protected but they are protecting people around them. I also have a sinking feeling that if these same people were aware that the mask they wear is not protecting them, they would not wear a mask at all. That is the sad part.
