That's what I heard too, there is so much confusion about the efficacy of masks and if they make a difference. From my understanding, the general purpose masks most people wear are designed to lessen the chance you spread it to others, but do not prevent you have contracting the virus.
Same here, however, I don't wear a mask in circumstances where I'm not required to. For example, I don't wear a mask in the gym nor while running outside.
