Default Masks don’t protect

Even if you wear an N95 or better mask. That mask will saturate and fail. If you sneeze, it will blow covid around it. Masks are designed to block incoming air, not your exhaust that pushes it off your skin and allows covid to bypass the mask and infect people around you.
Masks do little to protect. Even the m95 was proven ineffective. They don’t stop all germs from exiting your body either though as you pointed out. They just do “some” work, which amounts to better than none. The newest strand isn’t nearly as deadly, but hey no one wants to get others sick.
