They couldn’t have the public wear N95, because those masks that actually do protect you, needed to be given to the medical community. Thereby, wearing loose cloth masks was the alternative which kept your spit from reaching within six feet to infect another person. However, if the other person refused to wear a cloth mask, then their spittle could go right through your lose cloth mask (if within six feet). Now maybe you understand why it was important for ALL to wear masks when we were at the peak of the pandemic. Thankfully, most are vaccinated and it’s behind us, but one doesn’t vaccinate then you may suffer the consequence. Personally, I like the guarantee I won’t die of COVID-19 because of being vaccinated. The vaccine technology was under development for 10 years, and can be applied to most any virus now that comes along. It’s like inventing the wheel, when there was no wheel. Game changer.

Good logical post!
