Even a crappy mask can still give others some protection from your coughs & sneezes. Plus, I've noticed it can help remind people that you wish to keep some distance (whether it's for their benefit or for yours).
As an aside, I finally tried a good fitting N95 (3M) and tried it outside today for an hour walk in 35-deg-F weather. First time I've never had my glasses fog; not even a bit.
Yeah, don't really need a mask outside if you avoid crowds, but the air quality was less than perfect here today.
- frosted-flakes 4y agoEven the regular surgical masks come in many different qualities. I was used to the grocery store variety and always struggled with fogging glasses, but when I was in hospital earlier this year (appendicitis), the masks they gave out fit much better around the nose, and my glasses didn't fog up at all.

No mask wearing has resulted in less COVID transmission on any population around the world. N95 masks are the only things that work - but they don't fog your glasses.
