Essentially one study found that in high intensity settings with extreme close quarters contact with people certain to be a sick a cloth mask was not an effective ppe?
That was a known thing before.
The study doesn't do much to settle the efficacy of a cloth mask for some fat cunt going to arbies or china mart to buy some shit with adequate social distance and everyone washing their genital touchers. It's an interesting study and I respect you much for submitting a peer reviewed source of some credibility.
I would submit the theoretical hypothesis that "a cloth mask reduces infection in low intensity interactions as a function of day to day living with other precautions in place".
I would respectfully submit that said health care ward would not be a controlled environment but a source of high intensity infection and without the other relevant protective factors of distance and staying away from infected individuals.
Also, that fart smell is just part of it. Farts are also a minor explosion of particles of material that are stopped by the clothing you're wearing but not noticeable like a shart would be.
Most of what I have read indicates cloth masks do some good under low Intensity situations.
All that article does is really emphasize the importance of good medical grade masks. This is something that was known before.
If you don't want to wear a mask that's you. I'm not going to make you. But quoting one article and then attempting to use it try and disprove all masks isn't a viable tactic.
Of course I know journalists don't count sonny, this isn't my first rodeo.

One retraction of a study that claimed to invalidate masks and one study published by the Lancet as of june of this year.
As of thinking hospitals are "evil" or some faggot moral term? No, they're institutions that abide by understanding and social pressure of the time. They should be held to task for charging $100 for a fucking bag of saline.
They're not legally liable for not using cloth masks before hand but I submit that masks in addition to other protocols are effective in limiting the spread of the rona.
All your pet study really says is that you definitely want a good ass surgical mask if you work in a hospital. By that logic, no, you don't need a cloth mask you need a surgical one.
One of my favorite things about people is to attempt to believe reality into a shape they prefer. Did you know when cruise ships go down passengers sometimes try and run and hide in their rooms and lock the door? It's an observable phenomenon in crisis that human beings have.
TRUE TLDR: wear a covering over your nose & mouth, it will be 90-99% effective depending on the weave and material density. Stay 6 feet away from people because you can still get infected by airborne virus/bacteria thru your eyes.
Nah dude, farts smell because you're not just exuding methane but also sulfur-based organic compounds (hydrogen sulfide, dimethyl sulfide, I suppose thiols possibly if you eat dangerously overprocessed tendies too).
Sulfides are noticeable by smell at concentrations of around 0.2 parts per billion. In other words, your cropduster doesn't need much fertilizer to spread the unholey nasty to everyone within 1-10 feet of you (depending on your diet).
You do not fart out bacteria. The smallest bacteria are 50,000 times bigger than hydrogen sulfide molecules. Bacteria does escape your anus, but it's (literally) in the form of poop - as your food passes thru your intestines, some of your gut flora goes along for the ride and continues to breakdown what you've eaten until (and even after) you've expelled it.
TLDR pt 2: Cloth masks will protect you from inhaling airborne bacteria/viruses with 92-99% efficacy depending on the density of the fabric and tightness of the weave. They will not protect you from the smell lizurds propagate when they talk because they gobble up shit like gun control propaganda at rates too high for human consumption (and eating shit affects their breath).
