A: YES! Wearing a mask reduces the spread of droplets containing the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Blocking these droplets with a mask from shooting out into the world around us reduces transmission from person to person. Masks block a significant amount of these droplets while still allowing gases to pass in and out of the mask. Still not convinced? This fantastic PBS video uses some amazing examples to explain the science behind masks. As with all great videos, this one includes fart jokes and mosquitoes for your viewing pleasure.
