I think the same Cochrane study said cloth masks are likely entirely ineffective

    Even if they only prevent 0.01% of viruses, that is still better than nothing.

    WEAR YOUR MASK

    A cloth mask is a waste of plastic to you?

    Most cloth contains plastic these days, so yes.

    A cloth mask is not effective, read the Cochrane study

    WAIT?! You made this comment an hour after I quoted and linked to the clarification from Cochrane that it is a misunderstanding that their study says cloth masks are not effective in response to ONE OF YOUR comments.

    Have YOU read THAT?!

    Don't be out here saying "OMG have you readed what Cochrane said about it?!" when not only have you misread it but also seemingly not read Cochrane's attempt to gently explain that to you!

    A cloth mask is effective, read the Cochrane statement.
