I’m guessing the micron level protection of your old sheets, underwear or bra are about as effective as a condom that is expired and has a .40 caliber hole in it. There is no more common sense and people can’t or are not allowed to decide what is best for them. It’s just asinine.
CDC guidance on surfaces didn’t really change- used to be “not as likely,” then more recently “less likely...” A tiny language change that doesn’t really amount to much.
As for the mask guidance- if the idea were to protect the wearer, I’d agree. That’s not the case. The virus lives in respiratory droplets- and just about any kind of face covering can limit the travel of your spit....
