The science is clearly split on this. The bottom line though, is that the leadership is mandating them, and whether they actually do anything or not, for most people it won't kill you to wear one. I like to go into the grocery store and they (a private company) require it, so I'll wear one. I don't believe that the exhale spewing around my mask and yours is safe though, so I'll also stay a healthy distance away from you.
If nothing else I hope e remember this come regular cold and flu season and stop coughing and sneezing on each other in public. I've been directly sneezed on in the subway many times - maybe the social distancing part of this will resonate? Better yet, if you are sick, please stay home.
