The mask suppose to stop the water droplets wich the virus travels in.
There was a video about testing it, with multiple distances and stuff but it is too long, but there is an other test results in one pic:

You are right: Masks are not bulletproof.
But: Drasticly, decreses the droplets reaching the body, even from 30 cm (1 foot).
If you too wear a mask you have even less chance to inhale the droplets. Catching via eyes is still not confirmed as far as I know.
And if you keep the distance you are even safer.
If everyone do these two simple things, it wouldn't have been necessary to shut down anything.
if you drop some water in a medical mask the water will bead up. they are treated with some kind of water resistance and repel water. If they were not treated they would absorb moisture and become soggy. ........................But that would actually make them effective ......................for a time.
The only masks that have a window of usability are a new sterile one. they quicky become contaminated and filled with what little moisture they can hold. After that you are breathing through a germ infested cloth and gurgling through trapped moisture being passed both ways its actually gross.
In the medical community they change and dispose of them through out the day,
What the some governments has people doing is insane and unsanitary.
moisture passes through the mask
the very size of the pores in a mask contribute even more the the aerosol effect. The micro droplets can then travel even further on the air
one should wonder why the places with the hard lock downs and mask mandates have the worse numbers.
how many people wonder why they use "cases" now for fearmongering but dont use the "claimed" death count?
