Rubbish.

Assuming it's the typical mask that the public buys, the virus sticks to
the outside of the mask and then has time to migrate in. But it doesn't
fly off after it's migrated out. Which is why it protects others but not
you.

(My source is a senior researcher on influenza and Covid-19 at the CDC
in Atlanta. I'll believe him any day.)
