There's also evidence the droplets and aerosols can enter the body through eye cavities. I just don't see masks as being effective enough to warrant anything other than attempts to control the populace.
The areosol particles stayed in the air when they were introduced by people not wearing masks. THAT is why universal masking is advocated world wide. Masking and social distancing are still a mitigation behind the life saving vaccines we have now.
