        I understand. We just updated our preprint with the latest on that. Cloth masks are good for source-control (stopping infecting others), and if you add a paper towel layer, the general performance becomes even better.

        This is with surgical masks. People are going to still rebel against it until they come out with a study showing the efficacy of cloth/homemade/cotton masks. Which is what the vast majority are wearing. (P.S. I support mask wearing lest folks want to attack me)

        Dont think this will make a difference... People will just say that this doesn't emulate properly the conditions of humans wearing masks.

        His surname is Yuen, so Dr Yuen. (Surname in Chinese can be tricky.)
