You just realizing that now?

In my businesses, what you describe is not a mask that satisfies the requirements for being on my private property.

Whether or not you get a clinical case depends on viral load and the number of sick people around you multiplied by the time you spend in that high-risk environment.
Reduced viral load from face mask use guarantees that your case will not be worse than it would have been without facial coverings.

Even a vaccine guarantees nothing.
Time to move beyond shock and anger and get toward acceptance. This thing is going to be around for a while.
So, do gauze coverings stop spread of Covid?
