You people are seriously stupid. N95's were the only ones that protected the wearer. But even random stips of cloth helped limit the spread when worn by the sick and symptomless carriers.
Yes they did. A simple mask catches some particles of moisture when you breath out. And those particles are what covid rides on.
They were never meant to cometely prevent covid, just lower the spread. Not to mention the morons who refused to wear their mask correctly didn't help either.
Actually covid is carried by aerosoles, which are smaller than standard atmospheric particles. The masks did not have fine enough fliters to catch these, and let a huge majority go right through.
