No.
My claim is that (1) masks CAN play a role in limiting the spread of pathogens, (2) masks worn by lay people are PRIMARILY effective in preventing the wearer from spreading his/her onboard pathogens by water droplet dispersal, (3) even a perfectly fitting N95 respirator is only 95% effective in filtering inhaled viruses and other pathogens for the wearer, (4) poorly handled masks of all types do little to protect wearers, and bonus point (5) positive pressure, self-contained hazmat suits are the best means of protection. However, ANY error in donning and/or doffing of a hazmat suit -- and any other PPE -- can result in pathogenic transmission.
Glad to see a smile goes with those tears. Be well.
