The idea is if your sneeze or cough, the volume of the virus leaving your face and going into the air is greatly reduced.

Not much is 100% effective in this world. Vaccines aren't. Condoms aren't. Seat belts aren't. But we use them because it mitigates unwanted outcomes. The main difference between coronavirus and car accidents and sex is that you can self-mitigate the last two. You can choose to be celibate (rape aside). You can choose to not drive a car (depending on where you live, it might greatly alter your lifestyle). However, you can't choose to NOT engage in activities that will subject you to coronavirus. Everyone needs to eat. Unless you are a subsistence farmer or something, you will have to engage with other humans possibly carrying the virus.

False sense of security, is causing more wide spread cases than without masks.
Because of loose fitting and constant adjusting, a persons unsanitized hands go to the mask an average of 2 times per minute.

California has has a strict mask order for 1 month. in that month the rise of cases is between 163% - 197%, depending who is reporting it.

Everyone needs to learn how to use a mask properly, starting with fitting it properly.

Mask mandates are a response to rising cases numbers, not the cause.
