Identical in every way except masks... that includes education and hygiene

Let's get some qualifiers going here.
How educated are these people? Are these they ones I see touching their mask repeatedly without washing their hands and face? The ones with it down around their chin then back up while touching door handles, pens, etc.? Their transmission will be greater.
A more educated and hygienic group would be identical or possibly lower.
If there were an equal amount of virus in the air in both cases you might be correct. However, since the virus is not aerosolized and is primarily transmitted via droplets, there will be vastly less virus in the air and on surfaces in the population that wore masks. This is because any mask will knock down a large percentage of the droplets. Let me use an analogy here that might help better explain this to some people. Let's say there is a virus that spreads by fecal matter. We aren't talking about something that spreads via farts, we are talking about something that spreads by actual poo splatter. So if you have a blow out while walking the grocery aisles, even whitey tighties are going to keep most of your poo on you. This is basically exactly how COVID spreads, only it's droplets expelled out of your mouth when you cough or sneeze. A mask is going to knock down a big chunk of that. If you have evidence to the contrary you should share your information with the rest of the worlds MDs, epidemiologist, and political leaders. You'd probably make a fortune and could tour the country giving speeches.

Stay six feet away from everyone all of the time. If you have flu like symptoms, stay home. If you're putting your trust in a cloth face covering without any training you're betting on a losing horse.

Truth. We did that until the riots. Busloads of people gathering in rage which went home and spread the China flu. STUPIDLY supported by liberals everywhere who now say the mask is the cure all. PLEASE stay home if you are int the high risk category. If you don't care enough for your own wellbeing to stay home don't expect others to sacrifice for more for you. A mask is an illusion.

Left wing groups are sending infected people out to spread it in red states.

[ Just because they found 3 people on the globe that say they “aren't sure” doesn’t mean scientist are divided. You don’t even have to be a scientist to know that even if they do nothing for the person wearing the mask they’ll do a lot to slow asymptomatic spread of a virus that is primarily spread by droplets. In addition to that, Plenty of links have already been posted on other threads on this forum that link to solid reputable scientific studies that show masks slow the spread. And for a final time, I don’t care what you do. Don’t wear one. Pay the fine. I’m young and healthy, I’ll be fine. But stop being a Karen and quit the constant whining and pretending you have some sort of profound instight not shared by 99% of the scientific community. It's actually the medical experts sending out mixed messages throughout this ordeal that created this confusion about wearing a mask so don't get too righteous about it. Korean study showed ZERO reduction in viral particles coughed through a mask. Spazm, sir, take your own advice. That study if its the same one I read had 4 subjects and the samples were taken 10 cm from the mask. ONE study. I will admit that most of the studies showed that the virus does to through a mask but many studies show that it helps.

Mask sign at vintage clothing store in Phoenix:
"If you choose not to wear a mask, we respectfully ask that you postpone your visit, we will be happy to debate the efficacy of masks with you when this is all over and you come in to sell your dead grandmother's clothes."
