The latest that I recall hearing is that the masks are not intended to protect the wearer but the people around the wearer.

Has that changed?

I also recall the task force stating that it's very difficult to contract the virus outdoors and it's almost impossible to contract it outdoors when the temperature is above 77 degrees.

Has that all been changed.

Isn't it also the case that a mask worn for a long time can damage the lungs of the wearer? Didn't a nurse die from a lung issue brought about by having to wear a mask through several shifts?

I understand that the experts are learning new things about this virus every day, but what is the latest information on masks? Has what I just posted changed?
