How would we know since there are so many non-mask wearers?

Now if we can get all those mask-wearers to wear them OVER their noses and UNDER their mouths, AND respect the one-way signs on the aisles, things would move a bit more smoothly for everyone.

Meanwhile at Target, it's hit or miss. Some days most of the customers don't wear masks. There is zero social distancing except in the line to the cash register.

I started wearing a mask inside buildings that weren't my own home around 6 weeks ago. Sometimes I forget to bring the mask with me (like if I'm swapping out for a fresh one and forget to put the fresh one in my purse) but even then, I'll tug my shirt up over my mouth and nose while I'm in the building if I REALLY need to get something, and leave as soon as possible.

Your correct, in countries with the backbone to enforce mandatory mask wearing they have markedly reduced the spread of COVID19. But here, so many continue to wear their tin foil hats, claim it is a liberal plot, and throw tantrums in the Good Old USA, we are killing people As COVID19 spreads at an ever increasing rate. This is not about you, it is about us! If you choose to not wear a mask, choose to stay home, please.

The anti-maskers, to be consistant, need to take sledge hammers to ALL the speed bumps in America and rip down ALL the speed limits signs and refuse to pay taxes. The point is that it takes some time, but what is best for ALL of society eventually WINS out. The same will happen to single payer healthcare eventually in America. It is too good to continually resist.

I wonder how many will insist it be mandatory to get the vaccine when they finally come up with one?

"Germs" is a catch-all term that covers bacteria, viruses, and other microscopic particles that cause illness in humans.

Bacteria are microscopic, single-celled organisms. Many don't cause disease and are even beneficial, although some are disease-causing (pathogenic).

Viruses are even smaller than bacteria. Viruses can't reproduce without a host.

So, do paper, and even cloth masks, prevent the spread of the Covid-19 "germs"?

Why do you care if they wear masks or not?

Number one, the possibility of the example you gave is astronomically insignificant. Number two, you’re not suppose to touch your face. Number three, if you’re that concerned, wear gloves and a shield and don’t touch anyone until you’ve removed those and washed your hands. Number four, wear all the said attire forever because there is always “something going around”, seasonal flu etc. If you don’t, you are a hypocrite. If you want to get all garbed up, have at it, but don’t ever remove it while you’re in public for the rest of your life and don’t try to force others to follow. The msm has brainwashed the sheeple and they’re following right in line.
