That basically confirms that cloth isn't very effective though

Gross, but it actually stops most of the bacteria from getting through. Without wearing clothes, there would be a lot more decal matter and bacterium in the air.

The study mentions that masks can be 5% efficient at stopping particles 30x the size required to filter the virus. Seems legit.

Masks protect other people from you, not you from other people.
