As to non N-95 face masks that CDC Director Redfield says will stop the spread:
We are now 26 weeks into CDC’s 3 or 4 or 8 weeks to stop the spread campaign. If mask-wearing had any impact at all on the spread of the virus, we would have seen it. The idea that extending mask-wearing by any period of time will have any positive impact on the spread of the disease is just numbskullery.
There are two aspects of protection allegedly provided by face masks, to the wearer, and to other people. The mask will not and cannot protect the wearer. Before Wuhan nazis foisted this bullsh** off on us, literally, no one thought a face mask prevented the wearer from becoming infected with the virus. Here is the 60 Minutes interview with Anthony Fauci when he clarifies that wearing a face mask is nothing more than a way of making someone feel safer.
If the face mask does stop the odd infected droplet, unless you wear surgical gloves when you remove or touch the mask, you could very well end up infecting yourself (fingers touch mask, acquire the virus, and later the finger touches the eyes, mouth, or nose). But in most cases, a standard face mask cannot stop a Wuhan virus particle unless it is riding a lung biscuit someone hacked up on your face (See The CDC Accidentally Admits Cloth Masks Are Not Effective).
