1. Take off your mask and sniff it. If you can smell your bad breath, then you know it is capturing some very small particles, including lots of virus-holding droplets.
2. With your mask off, hold the palm of your hand about 3 inches from your mouth and exhale sharply. Then do the same thing with your mask on. If you feel less air velocity with the mask on, then you know that the mask is effective at slowing the airborne dispersal of things coming out of your mouth, including viruses.
Wear your masks people. It's a very small price to pay, and the payoff is huge.
