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....
Certainly there is lots left to interpretation. I think the science is pretty much saying that unless it’s an N95 mask that is properly fitted, wearing cloth masks provides very little protection for anyone.
