Also, cloth masks could catch the occasional large droplet, but do nothing against aerosolized particles. The only people expelling a large amount of infected DROPLETS that could be stopped by a cloth mask are SYMPTOMATIC (coughing and sneezing).

By definition, asymptomatic are not doing a large amount of coughing and sneezing (that would make them symptomatic, for you smooth brains who can't follow).

So the primary vector of transmission for ASYMPTOMATIC people would be aerosolized particles, which no rational person (or even the CDC) could claim is stopped by a cloth mask.

So in summary, making asymptomatic people wear a cloth mask is like putting a two inch fence around your backyard to keep deer out of your front yard. Totally useless.

My mask protects you; your mask protects me. Over the nose, please. Higher. That’s it. Please follow the arrows and maintain social distancing. Get your Fauci Ouchie. 💉America’s Frontline Heroes thank you. We’re all in this together.

The secret to all of this is HVAC in high density buildings.
