hoc fallacy.

Also, have you read that entire article that you keep posting? In particular, this excerpt:

A face mask alone does not stop the spread of the disease. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), "surgical masks do not stop people from catching coronavirus."

Christine Francis, a consultant from WHO's Infection Prevention and Control said, "you must combine with hand hygiene and other preventive measures." It must be worn at all times if the person has a cough, fever, or difficulty breathing.

The WHO added, "Masks are effective only when used in combination with frequent hand-cleaning with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water."

Countries have seen varying degrees of success with face masks. 40 days since the 100th case of COVID-19, US, Italy and Spain have over 100,000 COVID-19-positive cases. The number of cases didn't slow down nor plateau because they didn't wear masks to slow down the spread.
