They literally do nothing to protect you from the coronavirus. The bacteria is small enough to pass through the mask material.
You can come into contact with the virus through you eyes. Why hasnt someone let them know they are wasting money on useless masks

People in China have been wearing those masks for way longer than the coronavirus has been a thing. They even sell designer masks. It's a social norm at this point

The masks will, however, block most large respiratory droplets from other peoples sneezes and coughs from entering your mouth and nose, said Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease physician at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. Coronaviruses are primarily spread through droplets, he said.

Maybe they believe the chances of infection are higher if they inhale aerosolized droplets from sneezes, or something.

EDIT: Heh, looks like AsucaHayashi got there before me.

Wait so factories are sold out and you've got people lined up at the factories and stores because they are really that concerned about wearing a mask to warn others they are sick?

Do not believe this.

I know that they use them for this purpose normally sure but what's going on right now is millions of uninformed people somehow thinking the masks will help prevent them from getting corona

There are few practical measures they can realistically take (like completely avoiding the use of public transport for commuting), so they're probably clutching at anything that might have a chance of reducing the risk, even if only slightly. I doubt they now think they're totally biohazard-proof.

The masks do two things.
1. Help stop someone who has it from spreading the virus via coughing (not 100% but it definitely reduces the risk)

2. Helps you from touching your face often. That way if you touch something that has the virus on it, you are less likely to touch your face meaning you are less likely to give yourself the virus.
