RE: When Should People Where Masks?

The droplets are different sizes. If you took a spray bottle, put on a mask, sprayed water and then inhaled; you would see that mask picks up some and other goes through.

The mask decreases the viral load, but does not completely protect the wearer. They are not completely useless. However, they should be used sparingly.

As picking up litter ... I treat masks like dog poop. Yes, I would pick them up at the beach or other nature preserve. I am leaving the ones I see on the roadside and parking lots for now.
