Even with several layers of cloth on a neck gator, droplets are split into aerosols. I saw that a while back on the Today Show segment about different types of masks.
One more reason, IMHO, people in states with mask mandates wore masks with one way valves. Just another way to trick f%$k the system.Those one way valves work the wrong way to reduce transmission of virus in droplets and aerosols. The valve is to allow the wearer to breath easier but that valve allows the expelled breath to disperse in the atmosphere. If that person is Covid positive, that valve lets out all the virus with the exhaled air. Have you noticed there are physician's offices that do not allow masks with valves? That is the reason.

So those states that have had strict mask mandates, that kept gyms & restaurants closed, kept “non-essential” businesses closed and prohibited gatherings, ultimately did no better than Florida with no mandates and minimal interruptions to businesses, because people in mask mandate states didn’t wear their masks properly or wore the wrong masks?!?
Really, that’s the best you can do? Then again I guess as bad as it sounds, it’s still the best option for you. Because otherwise you would have to come to the realization that masks are truly not a very effective way of slowing the spread...
