damn time which is not a good thing regardless of what sickness it is. If I was in the city and around a lot of people I would
wear a mask, but people are getting sick all the time while wearing them too.

I just don't think we know enough about this thing to say one way or the other definitively. 

People just saying wear the mask all the time and this will go away in a couple weeks I think are wrong too. The molecules in 
this virus are extremely small and get through masks so I think this notion is wrong to just always wear masks.

As is locking down and staying in your house all scared. This is not a good idea as when you eventually do get this thing your 
immune system will be down and it will hit you harder. 

The mask is more to prevent you from expelling or inhaling the larger droplets that come with screaming, coughing, and sneezing. If someone positive with COVID-19 sneezes, and they're not wearing a mask, there are now visible droplets in the air containing the virus. And if another person happens to be nearby, and they're not wearing a mask, they're that much more susceptible to contracting it.

It's like Wes said.  The mask is by no means a 100% preventative measure, nor is it being advertised as such.  But it does help to reduce risk.  And that's all this is about really. Reducing risk. I don't want to sound condescending, but the benefits to wearing a mask to minimize spread of a respiratory illness are pretty self explanatory.  And again, all that's being asked of people is to wear a paper/cloth mask when out in public and around other people.  In concept, it's really not much different than businesses requiring you to have a shirt and shoes on - especially those businesses that have to adhere to health code regulations.  Just like you having to have your body and your feet covered, for the time being you have to have your face covered too.  It's perfectly reasonable given the current situation and it's really not that difficult. But as is often the case, as soon as people are told what to do they ***** and whine and make the whole thing a much bigger deal than it needs to be.

I've been wearing a mask to work, the gym, the grocery store and the gas station for four months now and I've not once griped about it. Meanwhile you have other people on Facebook and Twitter acting like their lives are being ruined.
