This idiocy of these mask shamers is that the only way their beliefs have any validity is if everyone is infectious all the time. If you consider the probability of someone showing no symptoms being infectious at any given moment, even if a mask helps to a large degree it's statistical effectiveness if virtually nothing. By my calculations an effective mask only improves your chance of not being infected by around an extra 1 in 5000.
