Mayo Clinic: Mayo Clinic research confirms critical role of masks in preventing COVID-19 infection
https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/d...-19-infection/
Cleveland Clinic:
"A face mask provides protection to those around you, as well as yourself. Face masks act as barriers for respiratory droplets. Whether you’re coughing and the droplets catch in the inside of your own mask, or if you’re near to someone else coughing and their droplets hit the outside of your mask – it protects both people."

Johns Hopkins:
"Beyrer, an epidemiologist and professor of public health and human rights at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, hopes that recent research he conducted with scientists at the University of California, San Francisco, will help change this dynamic. He and his colleagues studied existing data and concluded that wearing a mask not only protects other people—as health officials initially framed it—but also the person who wears it. "That is a very important message," Beyrer says."

It's equal to covering your mouth when you cough. That's it.
If the masks worked we wouldn't be in this mess. Out here in California we have people wearing masks while riding their bike alone, driving in their car alone and while standing outside to enter retail stores and social distancing, it hasn't done jack shit to help.
