I know a "you are right" reply is useless, but yeah. People who believe masks are doing shit are braindead idiots. I saw a picture of my brother in law wearing a supposed N95 mask and it looked like absolute garbage, didn't fit at all. He works with the disabled.

not sure about his mask, it didn't fit? Was he just wearing it wrong or something?

It didn't look right, but obviously I can't put his picture on the internet. Not really sure.

yeah no need for a pic just wondering, I can believe it was a counterfeit mask like you imply with saying supposedly but he might have just worn it wrong like not over the nose or something, even a perfect mask can't stop a person from doing that.

A mask can not be made that fits every face. The best we can do is have a stiff frame approximating the face with a rubber seal to make up the difference. No cloth can create a seal. Without a seal you can not stop all the tiny droplets of virus and water that you breath out. That is why people's glasses fog up. That is moisture accumulating on the glasses. Even a perfect fit doesn't work.
