I have the impression that "it barely helps" is a gross exaggeration, if not a white lie, motivated by "hospitals everywhere are out of masks"

- DanBC 7y agoNo. It barely helps is a simple fact. Look at most of the masks being worn. The have huge gaps all around them. They do no cover the eyes. And if you're not used to wearing a mask you'll be adjusting it constantly -- touching your face. What untrained people are doing is tying a fomite to their face and expecting it to magically protect them, ignoring the fact that most transmission is via your hands.
