Yep, I agree with you but the value of masks is way overstated and I see people all the time wearing them and not practicing social distancing out of a false sense of security.  I have noticed that people are more careful to stay away from me when they see I'm not wearing one which is great with me and what I want them to do.  But the science on the actual effectiveness of these cloth masks is pretty clear and they are about 5% effective until you've worn them for a couple of hours and after that they are worthless.  I would never discourage anyone form wearing them unless they relax on the other measures.  And I wear one when I have to like I did this morning at my annual mole patrol at the dermatologist's office.
