I gave this a bit of thought, it being a slow day with not much else going on. Virus travels on water droplets, I assume these droplets are bigger than the pores in the better masks. Ignoring the side leakage and so on, say I breath out and the virus droplet is stopped, does the water droplet then dry leaving the virus to travel freely with my next exhale? Similarly, a droplet lands on my mask and is stopped. Does it then dry and leave the virus available for the next inhale? You'd think "science" would know these things. Maybe science does and I just haven't run into it, the definitive study on masks and how they work or fail. I do remember hazmat. How about removing the mask from the face? How does one go about that, disposable gloves? Wash hands after touching mask? Anything else that might have picked up a virus laden droplet, shirt, pants, so on, wash hands after touching any of them? I think it's hokum, either do it-get into hazmat-or don't. We do theater, virus protection theater. Tell each other to be safe or stay warm. The Truman show.

It is always assumed it's all benefit and no cost. There is a cost to dehumanizing every face in the world. Its impossible to quantify but we will pay a price for this. The longer it goes on the higher the price.
