It's far easier not to touch your face when you're wearing a mask, so I don't get why the American guidance continues to be not to do it. Even a cloth reusable mask helps with it (and is a visible social signal)

I'm in Japan right now, where the social pressure to wear a mask is pretty intense. As pure anecdote, having the mask on reminds me to wash and sanitize my hands a lot, and keeps me from pawing my mouth as much as I apparently normally do, putting pens in my mouth, etc.

Understood, but medical professionals treat OTHER diseases that do spread by aerosol. Also, some procedures can cause an aerosol -- like intubating. And unless you're weirder than I think you are, you probably aren't intubating people. :D

The “if it’s not fit tested it’s zero percent effective” bullshit is counterproductive, too. An imperfect mask fit is better than nothing, especially for short outings (i.e. not healthcare workers).
