The MAJOR thing masks can do is drastically slow the spread of the
disease
by those people, IF they all wear masks. EVEN a cloth over your face
makes
a BIG difference. Coughing and sneezing are only an indicator. If
EVERYONE
wears a mask in public, THAT will make the difference in controlling
the
spread.

Read my references!


If masks actually worked, the airlines would not have had to park 75% of
their fleet in the desert.


How did you come to that conclusion?


How can you think otherwise?
If the masks stop transmission, planes would be safe.
The reality is this virus sails through an N-95 like that bird shot
through a chain link fence. N-95 means it stops 95% of particles above
0.3 microns. The virus is half that size.


Not when its in droplets or aerosol, stupid.

That is why so many health care workers get sick in spite of using
real PPE, far more extensive than a mask and proper procedures,


Wrong, as always. That happens because it isnt used properly.
If your line was correct, they would all be infected, and they arent.

which virtually nobody does in the outside world.
