Masks provide two benefits. They protect other people from you when your are ill but currently asymptomatic and they protect you from "splashes" caused by people coughing and sneezing without covering their mouth.

maps7 didn't say masks don't work; they said that we've been told they don't work. maps7 is right, a lot of headlines at the least have been saying things like that.

Yeah, I am in the pro-masks camp but I feel like I can't wear one without being judged because the public have been told not to. I'm in Europe by the way.
