      Prediction: sometime in the future we’ll see and maybe even admit how pointless the cloth masks are.

      It’ll be like the masks in the first place when they lied about if we needed them at all. They’ll admit well, yeah, we didn’t have enough actual medical masks so we told everyone to put a T-shirt on their face.pic.twitter.com/dt0TNz46t7

      I have to admit, I am amazed at the people at the gullibility of folks screaming “science!” after we have already been lied to about masks by the CDC this pandemic. There have been studies done about the reliability of medical grade masks. Not about a T-shirt.

      If your doctor were so convinced that a cloth mask is effective, they would be using those instead of shelling out for actual masks. There’s a reason that hospitals didn’t want the cute mask your grandma made.

      You're confusing why doctors/nurses (who are around sick patients and who perform aerosolizing procedures like intubations) wear masks to protect themselves and why people should wear cloth masks (to avoid transmitting to others).https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/04/dont-wear-mask-yourself/610336/ …

      Health-care workers work indoors with sick people and do things like intubation that create and spew around tiniest particles. They need PPE--to protect themselves. The point of ordinary people wearing cloth masks is to protect others. Yeah, don't intubate with a cloth mask!

          The study you're citing is comparing (rarely changed) cloth masks against standard use surgical masks (disposable) and finds, reasonably, that healthcare workers should not do that! But the author of that study is on the record recommending cloth masks for community for this!
