You missed the point of the article. It’s about source control. The study showed that if a person wears a mask, the droplets from talking, coughing, and sneezing aren’t easily transmitted to others. So if everyone wore masks, the virus would be stopped AT THE SOURCE, and would never make it to other people’s masks for incoming penetration.
