A great article which explains the science behind modern rationale of wearing masks for the layperson.

Hopefully for those who can't or refuse to listen to reason on their own, relying on their govt to tell them what to do, their govt are taking in this information and getting ready to spread the info themselves.

Note that the surgical mask, which we used to think was only useful for protecting OTHERS, actually blocks 75% of the incoming particles from other people who are infected. No that's not as good as the 99% covered by N95, but would you not gladly accept a 75% lower chance of getting sick?

Even a CLOTH AROUND YOUR MOUTH will give you 3X the protection as being exposed.
