So IF I read this correctly, cloth masks still do a pretty good job? The post ends with...

"I have reanalysed the Korean data using the suggested replacement value of half the LOD and the results don’t change very much, suggesting a reduction of 70% of virus particles when using cloth masks."

And it starts with...

"His key claim is that “cotton masks reduce virus emitted duringcoughing by 96%”, citing a recent South Korean study."

So 70% isn't as good as 96%, but it seems like that's still a decent number. Or am I reading this wrong?
