They will help stop droplet transmission, both from the infected person wearing

Do we believe CDC of a week ago, or CDC today? It's a tough nut to crack.

Considering the wide range of homemade mask quality, it’s impossible to answer, but better than nothing.

No need for one. I just use the n95 mask that I have in my emergency prep stash.
