Masks won't stop all infections especially if used in isolation, but they do reduce the spread if used alongside other measures that Nicky has mentioned.
The problem is the amount of people that choose not to wear masks, or fail to wear them properly, lack of social distancing and lack of hygiene measures.
Sadly, too many people choosing to mock the use of masks and refusing to accept proven science, and too many ridiculous conspiracy theorists are part of the reason that the virus is continuing to spread.
At least 72,000 people in the UK are already dead as a result of this virus and we all have a responsibility to play our part to prevent those numbers rising. Maybe think of those people and have some respect for them, before mocking the use of masks.
