Not to mention moisture droplets that escape around the sides or bottom of the mask. OK trapping some of the virus in the mask is a very good thing, no argument there,
but what happens when you are done with the mask, most just place it in their purse, pocket or console of the car to be re-used over and over. Sorry I don’t have much faith in non N-95 masks that are properly fitted. Re-used masks could spread the virus and who uses a new properly fitted mask every time?

I see your point but a mask is still better than no mask no matter how you slice it. BTW, my mask never fogs my glasses and I do not wear an N95 mask. It is up to the person who is doing the best they can to keep their germs to themselves to wear a mask that does not have gaps all over the place. It is also mindful of people to wear their mask properly over their nose and mouth. Leaving the nose exposed when wearing a mask is like thumbing their nose at the world. Why bother?
All my opinion, of course.
