Thus exposing the astonishing idiocy of "mask" requirements.
All masks have wildly varying protective capability, for the wearer, or others. Laws requiring "wear a mask" are therefore simply virtue signalling, not actually useful.
If you are at risk -- you would be protected only by wearing a personal powered HEPA filtration unit, and eye goggles.
If you're not at risk, you don't protect other at-risk people by wearing most masks. If the mask you're wearing would allow you to smell someones smoke -- you're not being protected; small vapor particles carrying active viral loads are similar in size to smoke particles.
The whole thing is so astonishingly stupid, it's breathtaking.
