My wife works in a hospital and recently was tested for "mask effectiveness" where they test a regulation hospital mask on your face during breathing (obviously), talking, turning head etc. whilst spraying fine particles into the adjacent air and monitoring what enters your mouth and nose - she failed the test so if there is any situations in the hospital that will require the staff to where masks she will be told to stay home.
My point here is that we do not know if a mask is going to be effective or not.
