The droplets that get on the mask evaporate and what was in them stays on the cloth. Unless you're aggressively feeling the mask up for some reason touching it shouldn't be a problem so long as you wash your hands. There is no need to change a cloth mask during the day although it's probably ideal to wash it every day. Even if you never wash it it's still better than nothing, assuming you're somewhere you actually need it. It's best to have a specific spot for only your mask, but you probably can just stuff it wherever so long as it isn't dirty and you remember to wash your hands after fishing it out.
Just because something is imperfect doesn't make it not effective, let alone purposefully designed to make people sick. If people don't practice common sense hygiene then that's on them, not the masks.

“Even if you never wash it, it’s still better than nothing” - no it’s not, you’re retarded. I was going to go through and refute everything you said, sentence by sentence, but I don’t think it will help you. If you can’t see the brainwashing and hazard to your health for what it is, please just get the biggest pack of disposable masks you can reasonably buy and change it every 3 hours or every time you touch it. - “but you probably can just stuff it wherever so long as it isn't dirty and you remember to wash your hands after fishing it out.“ -fuck, that is some idiot box thinking. Can you see a virus? You are all kinds of stupid, but try to be safe

Actually, you know what? You're right. I just talked to my nurse friend and they said if you never wash a cloth mask it's likely you'll have bacteria and/or fungus growing on it which could easily make you sick. So yeah I may in fact be retarded.
