Statistically, who has the mask on is of utmost importance. If we take one infected person and one who is healthy, here’s what masks do:
If the infected person doesn’t wear a mask, but the healthy one does, there’s at 70% chance the healthy one will become infected
If the infected person wears a mask, but the healthy one doesn’t, there’s only a 5% chance the healthy one will become infected
But if both wear a mask, then there’s only a 1.5% chance that the healthy one will become infected
To put it another way, as a meme I saw does, if someone is trying to piss on your leg, but they have pants on, all they do is piss in their pants
Makes perfect sense and logic to me
