I honestly don't think the masks reduce the spread. The CDC's own website had a study posted that showed the masks reduced the spread between 1.2% and 1.5%, with a 3% margin of error. The regular blue hospital masks were 13% effective, while the N95s were between 13% and 18% effective. Mask wearing is mandatory in my region and we're still experiencing a surge.
