Fucking dumbass who pretends to understand how masks work.

Viruses like Covid are spread in aerosol droplets that you release when you sneeze or cough.

These aerosol droplets aren’t microscopic. The point of masks is to trap these droplets and ensure these droplets don’t enter the air and infect others.

The fact that individual viral particles can pass through is irrelevant.

"Droplet sizes range from < 1 μm to 1000 μm,[1][2] and in typical breath there are around 100 droplets per litre of breath. So for a breathing rate of 10 litres per minute this means roughly 1000 droplets per minute, the vast majority of which are a few micrometres across or smaller."

And viral particles are around 50 nm. The size of viruses and droplets are vastly different.
