Do masks help the wearer? Last time I heard it didn't. Probably wrong.

Either way, good for you...even if it only helps others that's a good reason!

Masks help, but Masks plus Faceshield or some sort of eye protection is best.

N-95 masks are protective, and to a certain (most likely lesser degree), KN-95 masks are also protective.

They still block droplets from reaching the wearer.

The droplet theory was dropped within the first few months. It turns out it's not just COVID; many infections we thought were spread by droplets are actually airborne.
