Do masks help the wearer? Last time I heard it didn’t. Probably wrong.

Either way, good for you…even if it only helps others that’s a good reason!

N-95 masks are protective, and to a certain (most likely lesser degree), KN-95 masks are also protective.

They still block droplets from reaching the wearer.

N95 masks block more than droplets too, they are quite effective

The droplet theory was dropped within the first few months. It turns out it’s not just COVID; many infections we thought were spread by droplets are actually airborne.

Oh, thanks for the info. How effective are n95s and/or surgical/cloth masks given that information?

Masks help, but Masks plus Faceshield or some sort of eye protection is best.
