This is a 2015 study. Cloth masks are not effective at all. Many people who are making them are using polypropylene (nonwoven fabric) as a filter layer. You can find patterns for this online-- don& #39;t let these Twitter experts fool you. https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5/4/e006577">https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5...

I& #39;m only discussing the actual effectiveness as far as particles. I know some of y& #39;all only follow me to try and dunk on me. This thread didn& #39;t mention stigma, nor colds/flu/etc. 3% effectiveness isn& #39;t as effective as an N95. There& #39;s variation-- that& #39;s why i linked the study.
I& #39;m not a scientist and nor are the people quote tweeting or replying to dunk on me on the basis of what cloth masks *might* do. I& #39;m a person who saw someone claiming that cloth masks were similarly effective and decided to look it up myself. So... look it up yourself.
I& #39;m not suggesting you don& #39;t cover your face at all, this was ONLY about that. I& #39;m aware if what& #39;s being suggested by our incompetent government, and I& #39;m telling you that from what I& #39;m seeing it& #39;s *not AS effective*. These are the words. Not AS effective. Stop replying to me lol.
Muted.
