Early on when we Americans were finally informed by Dr. Fauci and the CDC that we must cover our faces when in public, there were plenty of segments on TV newscasts that warned us NOT to use neck gators as face coverings. Even multiple layers of these neck gators split droplets into aerosols which is actually worse than not wearing a face covering at all. Those aerosols do travel in the air much longer than droplets which basically fall to the ground right away.
