So, the same CDC who said you didn't need a mask at all a few months ago now says cloth face covers "MAY help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus to others." It may as in it might help. Who knows? It could, I guess

"Cloth face coverings are MOST LIKELY to reduce the spread of COVID-19". There is a decent chance I guess...

The CDC should be embarrassed for putting out statements this noncommittal and you should be embarrassed for going along with it.

Anyone telling you that you should be wearing a cloth mask to protect other people are full of shit. This is just a tactic used by people who don't know shit attempting to shame people into wearing a mask. If someone calls anyone self-centered for not wearing a mask, then it is pretty easy to call them an idiot.

Why?

Because I can think for myself. Do you agree that an N95 respirator is probably the most effective way to prevent people from catching this virus? Do you know what the "95" in N95 stands for? "Masks ending in a 95, have a 95 percent efficiency. Masks ending in a 99 have a 99 percent efficiency. Masks ending in 100 are 99.97 percent efficient and that is the same as a HEPA quality filter."

An N95 mask removes 95% of 0.3%+ micron-particles. Do you know how small the Covid-19 particles are? Covid-19 particles are 120 nm or 0.12 microns. 0.12 is smaller than 0.3. If you believe that some shit you made out of something you bought at JoAnn fabrics or a fishing gaiter that can only give you 50SPF is going to save you then you are either dumb, naive, or some combination of the two.

I am amazed at how happy some people are to be told what to do, even when it makes no sense at all.
