- danpalmer 6y agoThat's true. I remember to begin with the messaging was not to use cloth masks as they were essentially useless, so it really was N95 or nothing, and the N95 supply was needed in hospitals. Now we know that a cloth mask is actually better than nothing, and we also have a lot of supply of not-great-not-bad disposable or tightly woven cloth masks.
