Why do people think a mask protects them? It isnt a respirator masks that filters the air, its a piece of cloth meant to prevent others from getting sick from you. It honestly is confusing to me. I'm not trying to be a douchebag, just its been talked about so much and people still aren't sure what masks do and who they protect.
If you are sick with any autoimmune issues, its best to know that wearing a mask protects others from airborne illnesses in a 6ft radius (just over 2m), you wearing a mask doesn't protect you. Its meant to protect others. Thats why peoples didn't/don't wear the masks when sick.
