There is evidence on both sides. It will take years to cut through the bullshit, once the media and public have gotten bored of the mask thing. Then we'll eventually figure out just how much of a factor asymptomatic spreaders were. I doubt it's zero, but probably way less than people think.
It might take years for THEM to "cut through the bullshit," but that'll be their problem. The people won't put up with these infringements on their liberties for that long.

Fine. But if people aren't coughing or sneezing there aren't any "droplets" for the mask to catch.
And if they are exhaling the virus by speaking, or even just breathing, the mask won't do a damn thing anyway.
This.

It's never going to be ALL of the people; it's certainly a substantial number, even here, where more and more are flouting the edicts.
But since you're not seeing it in your neck of the woods, you have my sympathy.
