The big problem I keep seeing is the morons who wear a mask under their nose. It's difficult to get everybody to wear a mask, and everybody has to wear one for them to be effective. Their likely more effective at trapping viruses going out than coming in, so the people with the mask not covering their noses are likely causing issues even if everybody else is wearing one properly.
Concurrence and wishing I could figure out how to encourage the discussion along this productive line, but it seems too intuitively obvious to the most casual observer. It's much easier for the mask to prevent you from transmitting Covid-19 than it is for the mask to prevent some idiot from giving it to you through the mask (especially if you aren't careful when you take it off).

But transparent window masks are only useful if others wear them - so that OP can make out what they are saying.
