Incorrect. Even a cotton T-shirt can block half of inhaled aerosols and almost 80% of exhaled aerosols measuring 2 µm across. Once you get to aerosols of 4–5 µm, almost any fabric can block more than 80% in both directions.
If you don’t have COVID19 your cloth mask isn’t doing squat. Even if you do it isn’t preventing spread. This religious belief in cloth masks is probably doing more harm than good.
Punching somebody in the face is stupid. Not wearing a mask in crowded areas of a ski town is stupid as well, puts others in danger, and of course against local regulations and subject to a fine. Enforcement , especially at lift lines should be better.
Punching someone in the face is not just stupid, it’s assault and is a criminal offense.

Wrong. The dose and the travel of the dose is decreased thereby decreasing probability of transmission. And while I'm not quite sure what you are calling a "cloth mask" nobody is forcing you to wear a bandana, you can wear a good quality mask that obviously works much better.

Does it? Or instead of being a drop that falls to the ground, it becomes an aerosolized mist that hangs around? Do this, go outside and turn on your garden hose, hold it waist high with no nozzle, and see how far the water goes and where. Now, stick your thumb over the end of the hose, now see where it goes.

I’m not sick so I don’t need to wear anything. Your urge to force healthy people to wear useless pointless masks is completely irrational.

Better example would be putting a basketball net in front of your hose and seeing how much gets through.

Poor analogy. Look up that paper posted somewhere above.
Symptoms can take days to develop. Additionally many cases are mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic. All of these can spread the disease.
Your irrational and unproven fears about asymptomatic spread do not allow you to dictate what healthy people wear or don’t wear. In fact my health status is not your business or the government’s business.
I hate when I am considered an "anti masker". I am not anti mask, I just dont see the need to wear one. If the need was there, I would not have any issues wearing one. I dislike the mask wearing so much though that I have reduced the amount I actually go out. I have no desire to do anything wearing a mask. When I do go out, it doesnt go on until I am at the threshold of a store and is the same place it comes off when I am leaving.
