It does if the mask prevents the saliva and other fluids containing the virus from getting to your nose and mouth. I read a study saying wearing a mask is about 80% effective at preventing YOU from contracting the virus. It’s not 100%, but if you were told one restaurant was 80% lower chance of you getting food…

Get out of here with that bullshit. We have had almost 2 years now to sort that out, going down to the store and buying an N95 isn’t going to cause some nurse to not have access to one. If people who need these for their jobs don’t have proper PPE by now it’s on their employer, not every day people looking to stay…
