Can wearing a medical face mask protect you against the new coronavirus? It's a question many people are asking, including pet owners who are putting canine face masks on their dogs.
If it's a regular surgical face mask, the answer is no, Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, told Live Science.
A more specialized mask, known as an N95 respirator, can protect against the new coronavirus, also called SARS-CoV-2.

Wearing a face mask is certainly not an iron-clad guarantee that you won’t get sick – viruses can also transmit through the eyes and tiny viral particles, known as aerosols, can penetrate masks. However, masks are effective at capturing droplets, which is a main transmission route of coronavirus, and some studies have estimated a roughly fivefold protection versus no barrier alone (although others have found lower levels of effectiveness).
If you are likely to be in close contact with someone infected, a mask cuts the chance of the disease being passed on. If you’re showing symptoms of coronavirus, or have been diagnosed, wearing a mask can also protect others. So masks are crucial for health and social care workers looking after patients and are also recommended for family members who need to care for someone who is ill – ideally both the patient and carer should have a mask.
However, masks will probably make little difference if you’re just walking around town or taking a bus so there is no need to bulk-buy a huge supply. -
That’s exactly what I said. It will help to protect you from people that are sick, but there’s no guarantee that you won’t.

@Nightskin
but there’s no guarantee that you won’t.
Every little detail matters :*

@Shadow But people are willing to take every little chance at this point. Even if there’s a .001% chance that you’ll survive, I’ll take it lmao.

@Quatre
Please note that masks are specifically designed to prevent transmission of COVID and not reception.
If you wear a mask believing you're safe, youre only hurting nurses and others that are sick.Masks are made to prevent others from spreading the disease,
Dont steal from the sick.

Masks should only be worn if you are healthy. It can save masks for people who truly need it, and are actually sick..
I mentioned that in my post already :))
