2. Airborne illnesses are, by definition, transmitted by droplets in the air. [webmd.com]
3. You have two small holes and one big hole in the front of your face.
4. When you talk or breathe out, droplets come out of one or more of those holes.
5. If you put something in front of those holes it will, at a minimum, catch a few of those drops.
6. Unless you poke that thing up someone's nose, ideally any drops that it catches will be drops that cannot infect anyone else.
This is not that hard to understand. No one should need to see studies like this to convince themselves that mask wearing does, in fact, slow the spread of airborne illness.
For anyone who, after all this, still believes that wearing a mask is pointless because "it's not going to do anything", I have a great little demonstration for you:
1. Find a bucket
2. Fill the bucket with urine.
3. Find someone to throw the the contents of the bucket toward you. Just rant at a few people about your feelings on masks, trust me - someone will volunteer to help you out.
4. Shower thoroughly.
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
6. Find a sheet.
7. Set up a clothesline.
8. Hang the sheet over the clothesline.
9. Stand behind the sheet.
10. Repeat step 3 with the sheet between yourself and your new friend.
Notice how you smell a lot less like piss after step 10 than you did after step 3? That's the same general concept as masks.
