Kind of misleading. Yes, it's not a catch all. It's one part of the solution. it will only stop larger droplets from being flung in your face. But the smaller ones that hang in the air, aren't affected by the barriers. It's why masks or being vaccinated help. But, it will prevent someone from being directly sneezed or coughed on.Plexiglass is everywhere, with no proof it’s keeping Covid at bay
Sales of plexiglass tripled to roughly $750 million in the U.S. after the pandemic hit, as offices, schools, restaurants and retail stores sought protection from droplets that health authorities suspected were spreading the coronavirus. There is just one hitch: Not a single study has shown that…www.crainsnewyork.com
I mean, we use sneeze guards for buffets... they do help.

Again, if you're hanging in the same room for a long time, outside of the slight air flow disruption, they won't do much. They're more for point of sale type interactions where you'll be close to someone for a short while. Then, they're effective.
