There have been studies concerning masks and their effectiveness and reducing viral spread. Masks do not stop viral spread completely but they reduce it by a significant amount. It has to do with properties of physics almost as much as it has to do with virology. When an infected person exhales be it a cough, sneeze or even while speaking, the distance, and the amount of a viral load in that exhale is reduced.Lefties are going to have to attack the source on this one, since they won't be able to dispute the content.

Study Quietly Published at NIH.Gov Proves Face Masks Are Absolutely Worthless Against Covid [Updated]
Article originally published at American Conservative Movement and transferred here for posterity. Update: Stanford University has disavowed the study, sayingamericanconservativemovement.com
I do NOT know whether masks help or not.
1. We have been told so often by the powers-that-be that masks do help protect the wearer and/or people near the wearer that probably most of us believe it. Quite possibly it is a placebo that works.
2. We wear them because it gives a sense (maybe a deluded sense) that we can do something to deal with this horrific virus.
3. We wear them to show other people that we are concerned about THEIR well being, so -- at the very least -- wearing masks is a way of saying "We are all in this together."
4. In a year or so, maybe a definitive answer will be known about their effectiveness or lack thereof. Then that knowledge will be used when the next pandemic hits the world.
