You said, “the pores between the fibers are too large to contain free viral particles.” That fails to consider the electrostatic properties in the mask fibers. I have posted articles that explain this effect. If you don’t believe me, I can post them again. However, I have a sense that anything I bring forward, you will not believe. That puts the whole discussion on the level of faith rather than objective thinking.
Mr. jonrick I am an RN working in an ICU with 35 years of experience AND a FREEPER; you have a lot of nerve accusing me of closeminded charlotry. I deal both with the balance of faith and reason. in medicine. Electrostatic properties of masks will vary with their construction and their materials but moisture will also affect and dampen any attracting electrostatic properties of the fibers...it’s called science...why don’t you study it?!
