Well, here where we differ. I don't feel confused at all and your post proves the point of why so many others are confused. While surgical masks and even cloths masks do help prevent fluids from exiting the mask, which can ALSO contain virus particles, they do next to nothing to prevent the actual airborne virus particles from exiting the mask. Read the CDC and FDA articles in more depth, and apply some basic physics understanding. The filtering levels provided by these masks simply isn't fine enough to filter the many times smaller virus particles in the air. These masks were designed to prevent the liquid sized blood spurts or snot particles from sneezes etc. but are NOT effective for filtering the virus particles in the air. This is directly stated on the CDC and FDA and OSHA web sites! I've had over 10 years of firefighter, paramedic, and Hazmat training. What quals do you have in interpreting CDC, FDA, and other scientific studies? This whole cloth mask surge is nothing but media and politician propaganda to make people feel more comfortable and prevent a run on the few masks that actually provide a little protection.
