You don’t think that the FORCED virus particles, from a masked sneeze, won’t travel OUTSIDE of a mask...and, into your airspace (if you’re standing anywhere close by)???
A bare naked virus particle is not going to survive long enough to do anything.
A virus particle suspended in a snot droplet is the infectious one. Those droplets are bigger than the naked virus.
Whether the droplets get forced through a mask depends on the mask type.
BUT, even though an N95 won't stop a plain old virus particle, it will stop most of the droplets, which is where the real danger lies.
