    I think the same Cochrane study said cloth masks are likely entirely ineffective

      Even if they only prevent 0.01% of viruses, that is still better than nothing.

      WEAR YOUR MASK

        I mean sorry but are you wearing a helmet every day at your desk? There is surely a 0.01% chance that it prevents some minor headinjury from a colleague bumping into you

            A cloth mask is not effective, read the Cochrane study

              WAIT?! You made this comment an hour after I quoted and linked to the clarification from Cochrane that it is a misunderstanding that their study says cloth masks are not effective in response to ONE OF YOUR comments.

              Have YOU read THAT?!

              Don’t be out here saying “OMG have you readed what Cochrane said about it?!” when not only have you misread it but also seemingly not read Cochrane’s attempt to gently explain that to you!

              A cloth mask is effective, read the Cochrane statement.

              I have. That’s not what it says.

              Ultimately, someone who is unwilling to wear anything but a natural fabric mask is still better in that mask than nothing.
