Masks don’t help when it can enter through your eyes or from you touching your face or mouth.

Lots to correct here but masks prevent contagious people from spreading virus laden droplets. They may prevent some inhalation. Ocular infections are hypothesized and at worst far less likely than inhaling viral particles and also reduce frequency of touching your mouth.

Nothing is 100%, but combining several factors to reduce spread results in a substantial improvement.

Why did masks become so political?

Per the CDC ‘s own findings. Only 2% of air flow is blocked by a surgical or cloth mask. The rest escapes through the fabric or out the sides ( which is obvious since if you wear any type of glasses they will fog when wearing mask). And since the virus is airborne the virus can enter through your eyes.

Masks offer little protection.

Masks aren’t intended to stop airflow. If they did, it would prevent you from breathing, not a good thing. Masks are intended to prevent droplets which carry virus particles which they do at up to 90% efficiency.

Masks are intended to prevent droplets which carry virus particles which they do at up to 90% efficiency.

Incorrect:

Masks are at best 30% effective ON DROPLET TRANSMISSION. And it only stops the droplets that are large in size from the infected individual. They are useless at stopping the virus in the person who inhales as the air goes around the mask and is unfiltered or the mesh is so large that it passes through.

However, it does nothing to stop a virus that can live 12-24 hours in the air, in a dry environments, such as an air conditioned building. This virus is but 0.1 microns in size when dry and your mask will do nothing to stop it.

You obviously haven't a clue about fluid dynamics and air movement.. So this will be way over your head...

Face mask filters—textile, surgical, or respiratory—are widely used in an effort to limit the spread of airborne viral infections. Our understanding of the droplet dynamics around a face mask filter, including the droplet containment and leakage from and passing through the cover, is incomplete. We present a fluid dynamics study of the transmission of respiratory droplets through and around a face mask filter. By employing multiphase computational fluid dynamics in a fully coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian framework, we investigate the droplet dynamics induced by a mild coughing incident and examine the fluid dynamics phenomena affecting the mask efficiency. The model takes into account turbulent dispersion forces, droplet phase-change, evaporation, and breakup in addition to the droplet–droplet and droplet–air interactions. The model mimics real events by using data, which closely resemble cough experiments. The study shows that the criteria employed for assessing the face mask performance must be modified to take into account the penetration dynamics of airborne droplet transmission, the fluid dynamics leakage around the filter, and reduction of efficiency during cough cycles. A new criterion for calculating more accurately the mask efficiency by taking into account the penetration dynamics is proposed. We show that the use of masks will reduce the airborne droplet transmission and will also protect the wearer from the droplets expelled from other subjects. However, many droplets still spread around and away from the cover, cumulatively, during cough cycles. Therefore, the use of a mask does not provide complete protection, and social distancing remains important during a pandemic. The implications of the reduced mask efficiency and respiratory droplet transmission away from the mask are even more critical for healthcare workers. The results of this study provide evidence of droplet transmission prevention by face masks, which can guide their use and further improvement.

So you dont think a virus can survive in the micro droplets you exhale? ( you are aware that water in the phase change state you exhale contains the virus, aren't you?)

You are obviously ignorant of the science...

Respiratory droplet transmission is considered critical for the rapid spread and continued circulation of viruses in humans.1 The droplets are produced by sneezing, coughing, or breathing, and the flu virus can exist even in the tiny droplets resulting from breath or speech alone.2 In a recent paper, Dbouk and Drikakis3 showed that human saliva-disease-carrier droplets could travel unexpected considerable distances depending on environmental conditions.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has intensified the discussions about social distancing, the use of face masks, and other personal protective equipment (PPE). Therefore, the public and policymakers need to deepen their understanding of the degree of protection required and adjust to social distancing measures based on scientific evidence. Furthermore, we need to carefully assess the criteria used for evaluating the performance of face masks and PPEs and the multiphysics processes (e.g., fluid and particles dynamics) that can adversely impact their efficiency.

Bolding mine...

For all you mask wearers (especially those of you who think wearing it outside is NOT stupid ‍♀). I know I’m about to burst your “google doctor degree” bubble, but here goes nothing.
So Masks?
I am OSHA 10&30 certified. I know some of you are too. I don’t really know WHY OSHA hasn’t come forward and stopped the nonsense BUT I want to cover 3 things
• N95 masks and masks with exhale ports
• surgical masks
• filter or cloth masks
Okay, so upon further inspection, OSHA says some masks are okay and not okay in certain situations.
If you’re working with fumes and aerosol chemicals and you give your employees the wrong masks and they get sick, you can be sued.
• N95 masks: are designed for CONTAMINATED environments. That means when you exhale through N95 the design is that you are exhaling into contamination. The exhale from N95 masks are vented to breath straight out without filtration. They don’t filter the air on the way out. They don’t need to.
Conclusion: if you’re in Target and the guy with Covid has a N95 mask, his covid breath is unfiltered being exhaled into Target (because it was designed for already contaminated environments, it’s not filtering your air on the way out).
• Surgical Mask: these masks were designed and approved for STERILE environments. The amount of particles and contaminants in the outside and indoor environments where people are CLOGGING these masks very, VERY quickly. The moisture from your breath combined with the clogged mask will render it “useless” IF you come in contact with Covid and your mask traps it, YOU become a walking virus dispenser. Everytime you put your mask on you are breathing the germs from EVERYWHERE you went. They should be changed or thrown out every “20-30 minutes in a non sterile environment.”
• Cloth masks: I can’t even believe I’m having to explain this, but here it goes. Today, three people pointed to their masks as they walked by me entering Lowe’s. They said “ya gotta wear your mask BRO” I said very clearly “those masks don’t work bro, in fact they MAKE you sicker” they “pshh’d” me. By now hopefully you all know CLOTH masks do not filter anything. You mean the American flag one my aunt made? Yes. The one with sunflowers that looks so cute? Yes. The bandanna, the cut up t-shirt, the scarf ALL of them offer NO FILTERING whatsoever. As you exhale, you are ridding your lungs of contaminants and carbon dioxide. Cloth masks trap this carbon dioxide the best. It actually risks your health, rather than protect it. The moisture caught in these masks can become mildew ridden over night. Dry coughing, enhanced allergies, sore throat are all symptoms of a micro-mold in your mask.
-Ultimate Answer:
*N95 blows the virus into the air from a contaminated person.
*The surgical mask is not designed for the outside world and will not filter the virus upon inhaling through it. It’s filtration works on the exhale, (Like a vacuum bag, it only works one way) but likely stops after 20 minutes, rendering it useless outside of a STERILE ENVIRONMENT (correct Becky, they don’t work in a bar, not even a little bit).
*Cloth masks are WORSE than none. It’s equivalent to using a chain link fence to stop mosquitos.
The CDC wants us to keep wearing masks. The masks don’t work. They’re being used to provide false comfort and push forward a specific agenda. For the love of God, research each mask’s designed use and purpose, I bet you will find NONE are used in the way of “viral defense.”
Just like EVERY Flu season kids, wash your hands. Sanitize your hands. Don’t touch stuff. Sanitize your phone. Don’t touch people. And keep your distance. Why? Because your breath stinks, your deodorant is failing, your shoes are old and stink, that shirts not clean, & I like my space. Trust me I can hear you from here. Lots of reasons to keep your distance and work on body hygiene. But trust me, the masks do not work.
*Occupational Safety & Hazard Association sited.
The top American organization for safety.
They regulate and educate asbestos workers, surgical rooms, you name it.
I know, facts suck. They throw a wrench into the perfectly (seeming) packaged pill you are willingly swallowing. Facts make you have to form your OWN OPINION, instead of regurgitating someone else’s, and I know how uncomfortable that makes a lot of you. If your mask gives you security, by all means wear it. Just know it is a false sense of security and you shouldn’t shame anyone into partaking in such “conspiracies.”
If select politicians stopped enforcing it, no one would continue this nonsense. Don’t drink the kool-aid.
