Also posted in the Vaccine thread, then realized it's probably more appropriate here:
Masks useless or worse.

Last night the local news had a story on this - pretty much admitting cloth masks are useless.
Think of the MILLIONS and millions of cloth masks that were sold, giving the false sense of security that they actually protect you.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Cloth masks are not useless, they are just less useful than medical grade masks.
And of course they are less useful than they would be if everyone would wear them.
So, why do you think there's this "new push" away from cloth masks toward N95 / KN95? Must be a pretty significant difference, no?

The link I posted argued that n95 masks are plainly unsuitable. They are not "masks," they require training for proper use, they require the user be clean-shaven, they are not intended for hours-long use. When improperly fitted, they are worse than plain ol' cloth masks.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.

But yeah N95s are basically useless to most who wear them as well because most have no clue how to properly fit them nor have the correct facial hair to allow a proper fit.

WOW, I wish I had thought of that!

As for why the "new push", I think it's because the administration is under pressure to "do something". Obviously, the most effective thing to do would be to get everyone vaccinated, but that isn't within their power. Getting everyone to wear more effective masks would be good, but that isn't within their power, either. Providing people with free N95 masks and test kits is within their power, for what little good it will do.

And the "experts" are STILL trying to figure this out, along with it being HIGLY politicized from all directions.
