Which is why many East Asian countries have big PR campaigns that focus on how stylish cotton masks are and how they're "more effective" than medical masks*

*more effective at slowing spread through the population, not more effective protection

The opposite reaction was one surprising thing when masks came around. A groups of people getting angry on cool looking masks like "mask is not a fashion statement".
I think that was just sour grapes from the people who didn't have cool stylish masks.
