I cannot disagree with that.  I didn't mind wearing one because I was not
doing any heaving lifting.  I have worn them before while doing strenous
activities (like cutting down a tree or mulching grass) but I could take breaks
and remove the mask.

I would like to think they do at least a little something.  I always wore
mine when I was supposed to and am one of the few people I know who either
didn't get COVID at all, or got such a mild case I never noticed.

However, as your article is from the NY Times, which is usually considered
a credible source by those to the left of center, that makes one wonder if
it was all for naught.

That can sure happen, but it makes me wonder if they were wearing the mask
correctly to begin with and also what other health issues they might
already have had.  They really never bother me that much, but I also don't
wear them while driving and especially would not do so on a hot day.

As Ron points out, it does not really make sense to wear one when you are
in a car alone, but some people (taxi and ride-sharing drivers, for
example) are not usually alone.
