Even the best mask that a lay person can get their hands on is only 95% effective on particles down to .3 microns.  The SARS CoV-2 measures in at .06 to .14 microns, although it tends to get carried by droplets that have a larger size.  Sure, the mask will assist with limiting the field of contamination during a cough or sneeze, but one can spread the virus by simply breathing or talking.  Lay individuals are not instructed in appropriate donning and doffing of masks.  Empathy will not protect you or I completely in a public location.    I would also assume that since COVID has been found in fecal material and that simply flushing a toilet has been found to spread droplets, that either a HEPA filtration unit, UVC light in addition to masking and gloving in the restrooms of public facilities or simply shutting down entirely public restrooms is something you might consider appropriate.  We certainly can't be partially empathetic, can we?
