Watch the video. It is spot on correct and said in layman language. If you do just a little research on the size of the virus particle and the size of water droplets you can understand how a mask helps.

If your physician isn't telling you to wear a mask, then I'd change doctors!

Don't always believe everything your physician tells you. I had a discussion with a physician (or so he claimed he was) just the other day and he said he does not mandate his employees wear masks in the three offices he has. I discounted every single thing he said after that. Discussion was over for me.

And look how well masks have worked already.

How can you tell?

Maybe they should be reporting with and without mask infection data....with and without masks new cases.....with and without masks death rate....

(Just kidding (I think).

Great video, thanks for sharing it! It's a shame that most people will probably never see it and an even bigger shame that too many that do see it still won't believe it.

So a mask will stop the droplets either outbound or inbound - FACT.

What happens to that droplet? It immediately is absorbed and breaks down into its component parts releasing to COVID contained within so the very next breath either in or out can, and probably will, spread the virus. The mask may somewhat limit the range the virus travels outbound but if it is on your mask and you inhale it will likely enter your lungs.

I am not trying to cause paranoia simply make people aware that social distancing is probably more important than wearing a mask.

Do we know how much of the virus is attached to droplets? Maybe half, maybe 70% maybe 10%. I have worn a mask for 37 years, it does not make me an expert, but I can tell you at times I had to place some tape over the mask at the bridge of my nose to prevent my glasses from fogging up when I would breath. So if some of the virus does attached to droplets then how much is just exhaled around the top of the mask, both sides of the mask, or bottom of the mask. Maybe some of the virus is trapped in the mask as you said, a very good thing, but everyone fiddles with the mask and reuses the mask. Watch anyone at Lowes, as they walk in, out comes the mask from their pocket or purse. When they walk out usually off comes the mask, back into the pocket or purse or the console of the car, to be reused. Has anyone given any thought that just maybe masks are helping to spread this virus? The answer is yes, some researchers have looked at that, and suggest maybe the masks are spreading the virus. Sorry I do not have it at hand. Look it up yourself. One last question that was proposed to me, if masks work then why are there not proper places to dispose of a used masks?

The reason for that is the massive NON COMPLIANCE of anti-maskers. Look at the big picture. Our bubble of The Villages is not a good example of the compliance of mask wearing. We in The Villages are a population of seniors so the compliance for mask wearing seems to be better than the rest of our country.
