If anything it makes you touch your face more -- masks are weird and itchy, and they need to be adjusted when they slip.

> Just tying a bandana around your face is absolutely a useful mitigation.
This "protective" mask will helpfully absorb any moisture droplets and hold them in place in front of your mouth and nose, and you will breathe in the virus as these droplets dry out. https://twitter.com/MedtechMustKnow/status/1241295034286084101 https://twitter.com/MedtechMustKnow/status/12412950342860841...

No reason it’d be different here.
