Two hair stylists with the coronavirus wore masks. So did their 140 clients. Of those tested, none got sick

Hahaha, ever feel your breath hit your forehead or eyebrows from your mask? Yeah, that is it, actively NOT doing anything. Also, hold your mask up to a mirror and breath through it, does it leave moisture on the mirror? If so, it's ineffective. Sure the moisture does not travel as far forward, but if you are walking, your body creates a low-pressure zone right behind you, which sucks all of the water droplets you just exhaled right behind you at head level of anyone behind you. The person behind, unless properly wearing a respirator rated for particles under 10 microns, inhales particles directly through their mask, or through the exposed zones to the side of the nose, or on the cheeks. If masks were actually effective, there would not be so much infection in Asia where it is very common for people to wear masks. However, those in Asian countries typically didn't wear masks for reasons of infectious disease, but for their poor air quality, and social purposes. Basically its more of a fad than anything else. Even most surgeons will tell you those masks don't do much against viruses, they were designed to protect against bacteria, which are much larger than viruses.
