You may have missed numerous reports indicating that masking, typically with cloth or paper masks, has not been proven to impact transmission.
There is a case for using well-fitted N95 masks, respirators, etc, however this is also not foolproof and the majority of people do not choose these options.
Masks can also contribute to sinus issues, asthma exacerbation, skin problems, and tend to collect dirt and germs.
The best thing we can do is wash our hands frequently and be careful about the surfaces we are touching. Physical contact with the virus is an extremely common method of infection.
Studies have shown that Covid can live in the digestive system well after current tests show negative, so washing after using the restroom is especially important.
