Apparently, according to the latest vid on CNN, the masks won't really help you. They are really intended for people who are already sick, to not spread the virus wider through sneezing, coughing etc. So please explain this to me: if the mask helps contain the droplets from being airborne, how come the reverse is not also true - that they protect against airborne droplets from being ingested, breathed in? Something doesn't compute here.
