The cloth mask does nothing. Even if you catch some large droplets it does not keep people from touching the mask or face then something else and it certainly does not catch all the droplets. In addition with over and over again they are just breeding grounds for bacteria and other nasties to be spread around. Better to use a kleenex if you cough or sneeze and throw it out promptly
All straw men that I dealt with in my original post. I said large droplets, and can help decrease the spread of said droplets, which even to the untrained person is obviated by common sense. Multiple layers of cloth will create a filter that can stop or slow down the velocity and thus the distance traveled of large droplets.
I never discussed the idea that cloth masks or n95 masks present some danger to the wearer, especially if not fit correctly or cared for properly (like regular washing of cloth masks, not wearing them for extended periods between washing, discarding them and replacing after a certain number of uses or hours for n95, etc.)
I get real exhausted with all the pseudo-science of experts and so-called doctors or actual doctors that think they know more than every one else because they have a doctorate or a phd...
