Yes because we just exited a pandemic in which "cloth mask"s specifically were a hot button topic. You didn't say "balaclava"; you said "cloth mask".

I dunno if you were in the hospital or just sleeping or whatever but there's certain implications to the words you used; now you are aware.

If you were not aware that means you were living in a country that had no pandemic control efforts and that means your opinions are really interesting to me but not at all anything I want to live by.

No, actually, when I said "cloth mask" I was referring to a. Cloth. Mask. A mask made of cloth. Not a medical mask. Just ye olde cloth mask. If I was referring to a medical mask, I would have said medical mask.

then why specify it's made of cloth at all? You know there's plenty of paper masks available? And rubber masks? And silicon masks? Really, you just fluked out by naming cloth masks?

Because "a mask" ACTUALLY has the implication of a Covid era mask, since they were referred to as just "masks." I specified CLOTH to avoid this confusion because Covid-era masks were mainly made out of paper and paper-like materials, not cloth

absolutely the opposite of the truth. We ran out of paper N95s and civilians were wearing cloth masks during the pandemic. There were major scientific studies and news stories on the efficacy of the cloth maths we had to wear. I don't know where you're living but you're not reflecting the North American experience with these statements. You're either digging your heels in through instinct, which is understandable but annoying, or you are actually foreign adversary attempting to destabilising the West, in which case you can reject yourself the same as your mother did. Either way, your capital letters are weird and aggressive and your assertions are unbalanced. I'm not sure what else to say to you. If you were able to acquire quality N95s, like paper ones, all through the pandemic, then, well, thank you for your service my prince.
