This is the stupidity of it all. The conspiracy theorists will act like you're an idiot and tell you: "masks block droplets, which transmit the virus." The problem for their theory is that any droplet large enough to be blocked by a mask is going to fall right to the ground. The dangerous droplets in a true pandemic are going to be the ones that are small enough to pass through. Those will remain airborne longer. In fact, the mask may aid in breaking up larger droplets into smaller ones that can stay airborne longer.
