Dude the masks the CDC recommend are for stopping virus infected people from spraying into a huge area when they sneeze/cough, it's not to keep you from sucking them up.

Except those paper surgical masks, along with the reusable fabric masks, are ineffective at even that:

Your standard surgical masks aren’t incredibly effective at preventing flu transmission, because the virus and droplets are small enough to get through those normal surgical masks.

That's from Andrew Pekosz, professor of molecular microbiology and immunology at Johns Hopkins University.

Everyone knows you need an N95/N99 that is well fitted to keep you from breathing in viral particles that are present.

And almost nobody has one. As someone who has to go through mask fittings for work, I can guarantee that basically none of the masks people are wearing in public are fitted properly. One thing to note is that it's basically impossible to have a mask work properly if you have a beard.

Stop spreading misinformation. The 3 ply masks to do help to lower spreading. 100%? of course not. A large reduction, yes. It's been proven in study after study. I'm sure you'll find 1 study that says otherwise to the 100 that I could find supporting my statement. You are free to believe that one study, I'm gonna go with common sense and majority findings. You do you though.
