I was thinking about this the other day, and I wanted to pose the question to the green screen.
With all the mandates requiring masks in businesses, thus forcing individuals to comply, does this have a negative effect to the desired result?
Here is my thought process. Specific to cloth masks, and not medical ones that are used and discarded after every use:
If I am wearing a cloth mask and it is in fact stopping some of the COVID, then it essentially becomes a COVID soaked rag that I continually put over my nose and mouth throughout the day. Wouldn't this actually INCREASE my chances to get COVID?
For those that say it is to prevent those that have it from spreading it, cloth masks have been proven to not stop all (hardly any at all if you want to do the research) COVID. So some COVID would be in the air, filtered by my mask, potentially putting me at a higher chance of contracting it. Thus making it worse for others around me, etc... You can see the cycle.
What do you think? Are we putting ourselves, and as a result, the population at risk by wearing cloth masks?
