but the masks are good for a few days at best and even then they don't do much.  People keep breathing into them, their own saliva and mucus and aerosols make the mask literally a germ factory each time they are used.

I would say a couple hours at best. If you are trying to protect yourself from a virus then it needs to be considered contaminated and disposed of after you remove it the first time. If it is used as a chin mask then the game is already lost.

I agree if most people wear mask like Prayuth and Anutin then it's useless.
