That is sort of a bid duh... Nothing new. Unless you wear an N95, there is very little protection to the wearer from the mask. The point of the mask is to trap droplets and prevent the spread to others. Like keeping a surgeon from having droplets from a sneeze or barking orders while doing open heart surgery from ending up in the chest cavity of the patient. IF the patient has a dangerous disease, the surgeon will wear a fully enclosed bunny suit with a respirator, face masks and positive air pressure. Data also says most COVID spreads indoors between family members and workers in close proximity who share the same air for 15 minutes or longer. Most people don't wear masks in their own homes... not practical for low income in high density housing. You can go in and get a 15 minute haircut from a stylist who has COVID-19 but is wearing a mask and probably not get it from her because her mask will stop MOST of her droplets from getting into your airway. There was a case of two stylists giving about 100 cuts where they both had COVID and none of their customers got it because they wore masks and the exposure time was not too long. There were other studies where people in restaurants with it gave it to other customers but not all... some had to do with air flow in the restaurant... Anyway... it is a waste of time trying to explain this to you given you posted this worthless study.
