Great, can you quantify how effective they were? So the issue is that if almost all infection happened not in public and cloth masks are marginally useful, what the point of wearing them in public if there is no measurable benefit?

Imagine still trying to start mask debates in 2024.

If you don’t know the difference between starting a debate and pointing out the ridiculousness of the topic then I guess that explains the obsession.
