So the function of the mask is to reduce the possibility of you transmitting the virus to someone else.
A simple one-senser test tells you whether the mask you're using is effective or not.
Prof. Ass. Dr. Natasa Mubeen Chida from Johns Hopkins Medicine said in an interview for Culture City. W BEZ Chigaco (form covering public questions by answering) that to prove how functional a mask is, you can use a candle (or lighter).
All you have to do is try to turn off a burning candle by wearing a mask. If you can turn it off, the mask is not doing its function well because the main and only goal is to block the exit.
