So if you go out more often because you think it's safe because you're wearing a mask, you're wrong. The more often you go out, the more likely the mask is going to "fail" at some point.
Wearing glasses seems to be added protection, again not 100%. Not wearing glasses may account for the lower end of reduction in risk of just wearing masks. |
I know this might be a shock, but I totally agree with you.
There is no one "silver bullet", but if people use, cumulatively, a series of measures (proper washing of hands, keeping a distance, don't spend too much time in a crowded place, wearing a mask, etc.), all together they will reduce the risk - not to zero, but any lessening of the chance of being infected can only be a good thing.
