“You just made that up.”

No. I’m a scientist (PhD Chem) with a background in biowarfare instrumentation development. I actually understand this stuff. The generation of microaerosols is a critical part of understanding the subject.

Good layman’s summary of the science behind mask-wearing:

A second layman’s article on the science behind mask-wearing:

Composition of saliva (the microdroplets generated by coughs and sneezes):

I’ve never been sneezed or coughed on by an adult in my entire life. If you are being sneezed or coughed on, perhaps you should consider an alteration of your personal hygiene habits.

No you’re not. If you were, you would explain it yourself. Instead, you are a PhD in google.
