Actually the masks, even cloth, do help. They won't stop you from contracting the virus, but it reduces how far the virus will spread from you breathing out, which means it's less likely you will infect others (especially if they stay 6 feet away or more).

Without masks they say it's at least 21 feet away that you can actually infect someone else. With the mask, it reduces how far the virus will reach from where you are breathing, and coughing etc will go mainly into the mask.

It's not perfect, but it would help, and it's crazy at this point not to wear one.

Still the real problem is that so many people are having to go to speciffc places, to get food, to vote, to get money from banks, to get perscriptions from pharmacies etc.

There is no way to avoid doing that, so many people are going to be in close proximity to others who have the virus (even if they don't know it), which is going to continue to spread it.

That needs to be dealt with soon. What happened with the voting today was insane.
