Why are there still people with cloth masks out there?

Also, I've been looking to upgrade my masks. I'm using a kn95 right now (I think the same kind Obiden is using in the comm banner). People on this comm have talked well of the 3M Aura but I don't like the elastic straps that go over your head; I have long hair. Is there anything you guys use that's more hearty than a kn but you either have it around your ears or (for long term) tie a bow behind your head?

    I've read that your filter masks can be reusable as long as you let them sit in the air for long enough that the virus dies out, and the thing that really ruins them is moisture. It does seem like a good idea to replace them like you are, and I'm probably overdue at this point.

      Okay good, thankfully I live in a pretty dry area so I don't really have to worry about moisture
