CDC - What do they actually do? What is their job? Wouldn't any branch of our government whether it be CDC, biodefense, be concerned with the exact science of masks and communicable disease prior to having an actual outbreak? For instance with billions upon billions spent wouldn't an effective study have included masks and virus transmission, even if you were talking about a particularly virulent strain of the flu virus? Measure virus size in various communicable diseases vs mask fabric, frequency and intensity of cough and sneeze, vs transmission? What would $ spent on biofense, the billions over the years, have went towards if not the very basic concepts of DEFENDING the populace from biological threats? What about immunocompromised individuals and the use of masks in prevention of air born illness, the related? Is there really NO DATA to refer to? Even if it came from other countries? NOONE had a clue about this in the ENTIRE world?

I ask this Q because news reports today say the CDC states that cloth masks are 70% effective in preventing the wearer from contracting the virus. This announcement comes out seven days after the presidential election in Nov 2020 and almost one year after virus was initially reported. The CDC had data that recommended no masks initially (there was data, right?). It had to take a position either recommend or not recommend. Then it took 10 months to come to the opposite conclusion? You get the feeling noone in position of government who is charged with preventing/preparing for communicable disease has EVER had idea occur "Maybe masks could help!" Are these ppl FOR REAL? Is it some form of collusion? What explains this gross oversight and extremely delayed "realization" from CDC? I would have expected this level of delayed response more than 100 years ago. Even in 1918 they were wearing cloth masks to prevent pandemic!
