"If your mask obstructs your vision, you're doing it wrong." Brian Williams with the jokes.

If everyone else is wearing a mask, he doesn't have to. There is no source of aerosol virus.

He is the source.

He is the source.

Well, if everyone else is wearing a face mask, his germs won't get to others either.

Thirty more? That would be like you were way too thin then.

OK thirty pounds less was kinda exaggeration Today at 8:03 AM, I was in 73 - 74 kilos (around 160 pounds) range when I quit running 14 years ago; 150 pounds well it'd been the times when I was fast, could be two miles in twelve minutes back then LOL a quarter of century ago

Community masks slow down droplets, but they do not prevent aerosol infection.

Masks do not protect whoever wears them. They protect the other party.

I guess that’s why doctors don’t need them when dealing with COVID19 patients?

N95 and better respirators can effectively prevent infection if used correctly. But even regular masks DO massively reduce both your chances of being infected, and the likely severity of the illness if you are infected.

Sub-N95 masks cannot guarantee you that it will stop even one virion from reaching you, but what it can do is stop the overwhelming majority of pulmonary viral infection vectors as well as stop larger droplets with huge number of virions inside from reaching you, thereby massively reducing the risk.

Can you still catch COVID19 even with a sub-N95 mask? Sure, but your odds are exponentially improved with them compared to without.

To argue against wearing sub-N95 masks on the basis that they cannot 100% guarantee to protect you from catching the virus is exactly like arguing against wearing a seatbelt because you might die in a car crash even if you did wear one.
