Your opinion is wrong, factually. Science has proven face masks help and the fact that Trump not wearing one has brainwashed you into believing they "really do nothing" is absolutely terrifying.

This country is in trouble. As far as I know you're not a kid either, so you should know better

I dont think there is any evidence that wearing a mask helps the person wearing a mask.

But if someone else is wearing a mask does that help in any way protect you?

Not necessarily. I think what happens is that the air flow restriction causes you to inhale some of the carbon dioxide you just breathed out. This results in that person having to take deeper breaths to compensate for reingesting that recycled air, and thus infected people would be at higher rate of spreading
