The Hong Kong study where they tested masks with coughing and sneezing people showed in their small sample that masks had a small effect on stopping coronaviruses. It had no effect on influenza.

But as was pointed out by a doctor in Idaho, there is no flu season. We have a vitamin D deficient season.
