Maybe add a bit more nuance to the topic..instead of hurr durr.
Cloth masks are 99% useless - aside from maybe blocking out a partial amount of water droplets if someone had the urge to sneeze/cough on you in close proximity <won't prevent transmission>
Surgical masks do little to block out most SARS-CoV-2 virus particles, but might help with particles carried insideofwater droplets. <won't prevent transmission>
KN95/N95 are the only masks that can provide a fair amount of protection, including airborne but you're not going to get most of the population to wear these types of mask. <best odds at preventing transmission>
So in essence, yes...masks are mainly useless unless people are using decent ones, which most are not.
