Yes, and? Many other differences between Japan and the US, and even there masks aren't always worn correctly to stop infection (check out top picture here and spot the errors).https://www.vox.com/covid-19-coronavirus-explainers/2020/3/28/21196382/japan-coronavirus-cases-covid-19-deaths-quarantine …

Technology of any kind is rarely good or bad. It depends on all kinds of context. It might be the impact on droplet dispersal is the best, it might be reduction in touching. There needs to a robust public health campaign with this, not just “wear masks”.
There are very few public health interventions that don't require accompanying education, including hand-washing to combat the coronavirus & condoms to prevent STDs. We don't typically warn people against those because they might implement them incorrectly.

Agreed 100. I think the government warnings are also dangerous, misleading, and confuse the whole debate. The CDC has been really messy in this.

There are 0 studies that I know of, of public use of cloth, there are filtration experiments, but only one RCT I know of from 2011 in hospitals. There is good anecdotal and historical data, but what “we know” isn’t as clear, I think.
