It will be for a time until a vaccine is produced that will protect us, and it will be like getting a flu shot every year, I hope..........
The latest from the Corona Task force says that it is very difficult to catch the virus outdoors and almost impossible to catch it when the temperature is over 77 degrees.

Masks are basically to protect other people. The virus will go through most masks. But a mask will slow down the expulsion rate of the virus coming from the person wearing the mask. In other words, some of the virus might get through but it will not travel as far.
