When they're in the box unused, sure.
But your ignorance demonstrates exactly what way2go and others here are talking about - once you touch them, once you put them on and start breathing through them, they are no longer clean. A simple undergraduate course in microbiology would make you aware of that. But your familiarity with science ends with Attenborough and his goofy penguins.

How do you know that without masks, the infection rate wouldn't be higher?
Seriously, stop being a whiny little snowflake, wear the things and deal with it. What hardship is it, really?

Wow!
I haven't really paid much attention since i went back to work at the end of April. What a mess.
And it looks like they've had pretty strict mask requirements since the middle of the summer.

A new study that looked at global data found that countries that required masks early in the outbreak, or where people quickly adopted them, as in Thailand, have had death rates 100 times lower than projected.
“We looked at the data from 198 countries around the world, and we looked at mortality from coronavirus,” says lead author Christopher Leffler, a physician and professor at Virginia Commonwealth University. “What we found is that the countries that introduced masks quickly—that is, before the outbreak had much of a chance to spread within their country—had a much lower mortality.”
The study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, found that some factors, including the local rates of smoking and obesity, urbanization, older populations, and colder average temperatures, were associated with more COVID deaths. Restrictions on international travel were associated with fewer deaths. And mask wearing had a very clear impact. Countries with widespread mask wearing saw mortality rates grow 8% a week, on average, versus 54% growth in other countries.

For some people, this isn't about reality, of course. No amount of data is going to affect them.

Indeed. As I, and perhaps others, have asserted before, people with undisciplined minds are more likely to believe a narrative than to believe facts. And Donald Trump makes a living off this susceptibility in the neural tissue, such that it is, lurking under red ball caps. So against hard facts, we get stories like:
- a cabal of satan-worshipping child molesters is out to undermine me (Trump) (by not repudiating such idiocy, Mr. Trump is clearly endorsing it);
- the media is conspiring against me (Trump), and is the enemy of the people;
- global warming is a Chinese hoax.
- them brown-skin furreners is comin' to get your jobs.
and so on.
Consider Trump's clever strategy of referring to SARS-Cov 2 as "the virus from China".
Trump is no dummy; his followers, well, ............?
He is selling them an appealing story - a narrative about a "good us" and a "bad them" (or, perhaps, in this instance, a reckless them).
Anyone with more than a couple of neurons will know that while it is true that the virus originated in China, Mr. Trump has nevertheless fumbled the ball in leading American response. He is trying to shift blame, hoping that his less-than-nimble-witted supporters will be duped. And I suspect his hopes have come true. A disciplined mind will accept two facts: (1) the virus originated in China; (2) Mr. Trump has bungled badly. The Trump supporter, by contrast, is seduced by an over-arching narrative that whispers into his ear that the "other" - whether the Chinese, or the Moo-zlims, or the Mexicans - is a threat.
