Most cloth masks with a tight weave fabric are equal to N50. I will find
the article and are useful for reducing the distance that virus floats.
From 27 meters to 1 meter. So they do work both ways. Yes you need
to wash them daily. Masks work even if not as complete as N95 they are
so many miles better than nothing. The cloth masks have been modeled
extensively to get the results that we should wear them. Discount it
all you want. The science says wear them. I find it amazing that there
is disagreement on that in this group.

Sometimes I wonder if low tech masks are efficient germ spreaders.
Basically the infected person breathes into/coughs into/sneezes into
mask which holds droplets infected with virus. Since the mask
doesn’t filter virus sized particles, the mask wearer breathing out is
like putting a small fan behind an infected surface, spewing micro
droplets into the air. If no mask, larger droplets fall faster rather
than float in the air. Similar to what Steve is saying, but for
non-N95 masks. If air is getting in, air is also getting out through
the mask pushing virus out. Seems like the fancy air diffuser the
boss has to make the house smell good, but for virus. No science
behind this at all, just musing 😊

the irony of the N95 masks with ports is they have the unfiltered low
impedance exhaust port, actually "spreads" the disease more since the
air velocity is increased.
Just call your meeting a protest anyway, then you dont need to wear a
mask since this doesnt spread at protests

Chuck, are these business meetings with your own employees, or
outside people? Can you hold the meetings outside and stay 6 feet
from each other? Although being outside probably increases the
probability of shouting and, if you have allergies, sneezing.
Imagine being a nurse/doctor/dentist/etc and wearing one of the
tight-fitting N95 masks (plus probably goggles) for a 12 hour
shift, day after day. The ones that leave marks on your face.

That and "It's a Small World". Gawd, I want to run into a hot lava

Kind of like a personal sneeze guard. Now I’m having a mental
picture of the aliens in Mars Attacks with their heads
exploding inside their space helmets. Whenever I hear the
Kars for Kids song I feel like my head is going to explode.

You can officially count me among the haters of wearing
masks. Did it way too much as a kid on the farm when working
in dusty environments or with insulation or other items you
didn’t want to breathe in. The novelty of wearing a mask
wore off long ago……

With almost every thought or opinion there will be someone
with the opposite preference or opinion.
However, one particular feeling might be universally held
amongst humans.
I am finding I really hate wearing masks during business
meetings.
I will do it until the virus is no longer a factor, but I do
not like masks.
I do not like to wear a mask over my mouth and nose.
I am sure someone somewhere would say they do, but that would
be an odd person.
