I question all the homemade cloth masks people are wearing. Just a false sense of safety.

there is a minor benefit in that it does work to somewhat reduce the spread of infection FROM the mask wearer, but not TO the mask wearer.

To reduce the wearers chance of getting any infection, you really need to ditch masks and upgrade to respirators (full seal, HEPA 13 or N100 level protection)

The mask is a reminder to keep me from touching my face.

A bit of ass-covering by so-called "experts" who are clearly clueless.

RE:”I question all the homemade cloth masks people are wearing. Just a false sense of safety.”

CDC is clearly telling us that the cloth coverings are to block some of the droplets of those wearing them, not protect the wearer. That's why it's still 6 feet.

But you can tell by people's behavior that they think its protecting THEM.

Like when they see you are going to pass them walking face to face and they pull them up over nose and mouth, they do that for themselves,
