A cloth mask is a waste of plastic to you?

[-] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Most cloth contains plastic these days, so yes.

But you, a person who seemingly is very concerned about wasting plastic, are unable to select products that don't contain it?

A cloth mask is not effective, read the Cochrane study

[-] Piers@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

WAIT?! You made this comment an hour after I quoted and linked to the clarification from Cochrane that it is a misunderstanding that their study says cloth masks are not effective in response to ONE OF YOUR comments.

Have YOU read THAT?!

Don't be out here saying "OMG have you readed what Cochrane said about it?!" when not only have you misread it but also seemingly not read Cochrane's attempt to gently explain that to you!

A cloth mask is effective, read the Cochrane statement.

I have. That's not what it says.

Ultimately, someone who is unwilling to wear anything but a natural fabric mask is still better in that mask than nothing.
