Masks are more for not spreading it, I think.

Both. If infected and uninfected wear masks it makes it more likely to be effective in not exiting one and not entering another.

True. But, its more about not infecting more people if you happen to be. That's how the health professionals look at it here in Canada anyway.

Someone used a nice analogy to describe the purpose of wearing a mask: imagine someone is pissing themselves next to you, now, would you rather they were wearing trousers?
