well, this is simply speculation, but based on lab plumes etc I'd say his wearing a mask would have done far more than if I had one. I gave my wife and boys each an N95 I had from a box of 10 I had, and donated the rest (one to a forumite, and the rest HCW). Way back then I felt safe going to the grocery at 9-10pm, but I should have taken a more worst-case approach, as I'd already started paying attention to pre-published medical reports, but I didn't, and got unlucky.
