You're right. A mask will stop germs from leaving your mouth or nose from getting into the air.
The real question though is: is it worth it? Are all these lockdowns worth stemming the spread of a disease with a less than 1% death rate?
We could defeat the common cold if we all just completely isolated ourselves but it's not worth it. Small businesses are failing and people are losing their livelihood which is causing more detriment to people than if we had not locked down the country.
The fear mongering needs to stop and the mask is a reminder to be afraid.
