Claim: Ear loop face masks don't protect against Covid-19.

Q1: How do masks help with the spread of Covid-19?
A1: A well-fitting mask keeps the virus from reaching others. It can also protect the wearer from becoming infected. Also, masks stop people from touching their mouths and faces.

Q2: Is there any benefit to wearing an ear loop face mask to help prevent catching or spreading covid 19?
A2: Yes while they might not prevent you from catching the virus they assist in stopping the spread by catching the majority of droplets.


From Source page:

"cloth masks are also effective at reducing the spread of these smaller particles"

"We can see directly that a piece of cloth blocks those droplets and the virus those droplets contain. People without symptoms who don’t even know they are sick are responsible for around half of the transmission of the virus."

"This means that nearly any kind of simple cloth mask is great for source control. The mask creates humidity, this humidity prevents virus-containing droplets from turning into droplet nuclei, and this allows the fabric of the mask to block the droplets."
