That's not what the article says, and you were talking about "probably made in China", which implies surgical or N95, both of which are at least somewhat effective. Certainly not "doing nothing".

Even cloth keeps you from smear-infecting yourself because it keeps your nose covered.

Go look on Amazon, most of the shitty cheap felt like material mask are from China. Covid particulates are smaller than what those masks are able to filter.

a) yes, but droplets aren't

b) you can get decent quality masks from China

c) the smear infection part stands

I'm OK with the gist of what you're saying, but the degree of overgeneralization doesn't quite match the degree to which you claim stupidity on the part of others. Just my 2 sats.

I’d rather not get decent quality anything from China.

Better than nothing, basically a fashion accessory isn’t a convincing sell.

At the start of covid I bought several boxes of 3M n95’s which I used for a period of time.

Droplets stick to the mask. Then you inhale microscopic partcles for possibly hours. Mask mandates were 100% unnecessary.
