With that said, there are 2 very important vital facts you should know about wearing the masks. 1/ MASKS DON’T REALLY PREVENT YOU FROM GETTING THE VIRUS, THE PREVENT YOU FROM SPREADING IT Masks are mainly here to prevent you from spreading it and not so much to stop you from getting it. According to the diagram below, you are 70% likely to contract a virus wearing a mask from a non-mask-wearing a citizen. And 5% likely to contract the virus not wearing a mask from a mask-wearing citizen. Although 70% is a good difference from 100% of Masks are more of prevention for those other than the wearer. So they really and truly only become useful to a society when the majority are wearing them. 2/ MOST COTTON MASKS DO NOT EVEN MEET THE STANDARDS TO PROTECT OR PREVENT YOU FROM SPREADING GERMS Although some of these cotton made African print nose masks may not meet CDC standards as they lack the ability to filter particles.
