"We have been told since April 2020 (before that mask were not recommended at all) that the cloth mask would adequately protect us, now that supply is meeting demand we are finding out that the cloth mask are not sufficient protection."
I might have missed it, but I don't ever remember hearing any health professional (at least here in Canada) advising that cloth masks will adequately protect you. I understood that they were/are definitely way better than nothing, but not to kid yourself about their efficacy, i.e. that they cut down your risk (and also to others somewhat) but don't eliminate it. For that, you'd need to step up to an N95, as has been recommended for a long time. I've certainly been under no delusion about cloth masks and how well they work. But as I say, perhaps there were some people that claimed this. Did you believe this to be true until these recent articles, D?
