Yet just today the paper headlines said there’s a record surge of cases, increasing hospitalization etc.
Wouldn’t that indicate that cloth masks are of somewhat limited use (like Fauci originally said)?
Or, at least, they are not “as or more efficacious than a vaccine,” as Redfield from the CDC said?

masks alone - esp. a single layer cloth mask - are not adequate; social distancing is needed too (and 6 ft. helps but may not be adequate)
that is not new:

or maybe you should ask Eric - he is a genius in things he knows nothing about, not to mention an apparently low ability to search for scientists on ResearchGate
and note the pic Island posted - unlike "poditis" covid is spreading in part b/c you cannot look at someone and see if they are infected - nor does taking a forehead temp. solve things as many will be infected and infectious w/o a fever (but it helps)
