it's amazing that people spreading fake news and disinformation receive merits from a merit source... this forum section looks like a madhouse. Nowadays every kind of shit is equated with scientific knowledge and we will see the results in the short term.

let's draw then and I hope people can get it:

I'm not saying that masks is completely useless, but numbers in this image looks so random. I haven't heard about any scientific research which would prove that these numbers is right. There is many factors which may change these numbers into one or other side.
I think that in crowded places like shops or public transport, but I think it's not needed in the streets at all.
And, WHO still don't recommend to wear it for helthy people, here is quote from their website:

If you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with COVID-19.
Wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing

Numbers are probably completetly made up. I'm assuming this picture was made to be spread on all of the social media platforms by kids and adults alike. I don't think this should take away from the fact that masks are going to be helpful in stopping the spread of the coronavirus.

If you were a mask and you have the coronavirus, you have a much lower chance of spreading it to other people. Which is one of the key things that people are trying to do here. Lowering the amount of people infected and lowering the strain on the hopsital system is VERY important to ensuring that we can move on from this effectively.
