re: Do masks really work?

Can't speak to everyone but we have a bunch of masks and don't re-use them without cleaning them.


And it depends on your goal.. nobody is claiming that cloth masks will prevent you from getting infected but they are supposed to help prevent spread via large droplets since that's the primary transmission mode of this virus. Will you touching the mask then touching other things spread the virus? Yes, but that seems to be less infectious for this virus than people coughing, sneezing, and breathing on each other.
