Filter efficiency was measured across a wide range of small particle sizes (0.02 to 1 µm) at 33 and 99 L/min.
N95 respirators had efficiencies greater than 95% (as expected).
T-shirts had 10% efficiency,
Scarves 10% to 20%,
Cloth masks 10% to 30%,
Sweatshirts 20% to 40%, and
Towels 40%.
All of the cloth masks and materials had near zero efficiency at 0.3 µm, a particle size that easily penetrates into the lungs.
Another study evaluated 44 masks, respirators, and other materials with similar methods and small aerosols (0.08 and 0.22 µm).
N95 FFR filter efficiency was greater than 95%.
Medical masks – 55% efficiency
General masks – 38% and
Handkerchiefs – 2% (one layer) to 13% (four layers) efficiency.
Conclusion: Wearing masks will not reduce SARS-CoV-2.
N95 masks protect health care workers, but are not recommended for source control transmission.
Surgical masks are better than cloth but not very efficient at preventing emissions from infected patients.
Cloth masks will be ineffective at preventing SARS-CoV-2 transmission, whether worn as source control or as personal protective equipment (PPE).
“Masks may confuse that message and give people a false sense of security. If masks had been the solution in Asia, shouldn’t they have stopped the pandemic before it spread elsewhere?”

curious as to why there is never mention of Great St James ever...
Probably because I don't think he actually owned that entire island. Only a very large chunk of it.

He owned the whole thing since 2016.

Really? Do you have a source for that? I'm not doubting you so much as it just contradicts what I had read about it previously. Previously it was stated he only owned like 6 or 800 acres of the island, whichever it was, and the little bit left over was owned by someone else.

Good to see you PFS!
Probably Property Deed Semantics. I truly doubt he "owned" anything. Motto of the uber rich - "control everything, own nothing." Likely a sort of Trustee, which is the real issue: Too many firewalls (names) between us and them.
Great Saint James was purchased in 2016 for US$22.5 million by financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.[3][6] Epstein had already owned the neighboring Little Saint James island.[4] B.T. has reported that at some point while Kjær owned 80.1 acres (32.4 ha) of the island, Epstein had attempted to purchase the island, but that the sale had not gone through, partially because islanders "begged" Kjær and his wife Susan Astani not to sell the land to Epstein. Astani said that at the time there were rumors about Epstein's "sexual preferences".[6][7] In order to conceal his identity, Epstein made Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem the ultimate beneficial owner against his will and purchased Kjær's three parcels through his shell corporation Great St. Jim LLC, for US$17.5 million on January 18, 2016.[3][6] He bought the rest of the island (twelve parcels totalling 81.22 acres (32.87 ha)) through the same LLC from GSJ Properties Corp. for US$5 million on January 21, 2016.[3]

Oh, I’m expecting similar bombshells to start coming out on other teams; not just in NFL.
New team name choices;
Washington Pervs -> creepy Joe as mascot
Washington Pigs -> Hogs still in play
Washington Creeps -> masks appropriate
