That's why if everyone wore them everybody would be safer. Yeah, I understand that forcing people to wear mask is government overreach, but that's not what I am complaining about here, what I am complaining about is the lazy individuals who could wear mask but don't because 'It's to itchy!' or 'It's to hot!' rather than any scientific proof or evidence and proceed to blame people who do wear mask when they inevitably get ill.The problem is, evidence suggests that masks are actually counter-productive, because unless you basically wash them with bleach after each use, you're just stockpiling germs on a moist piece of cloth for you to later push out into the air by exhaling through.
And this is before you get into government over-reach on the issue and social consequences.
The fact is that by your own omission just now the only risk involving mask is expelling the particles outward and those particle's will only affect those who stand within a specific distance and breath them in because according to the CDC the only way that Covid-19 spreads is through inhalation.
