Coronavirus: COVID-19

Surgical masks were originally created to prevent the surgeon from passing germs/virus's to patients during surgery. The cloth masks and anything not containing the type of materials and protective design incorporated into N95 types and better are basically to prevent people, like me who have already contracted the virus, from spreading it to others. People wearing a cloth mask are still at risk, but the percentages go down a bit. It's science.

Was this already pointed out?

Meh.

The fatigue after-effects related to contracting this is no joke, which is really starting to piss me off, but I'm making progress.
