You can more readily stop sand blowing through a chainlink fence than you can stop a virus with a mask.

The point is not viruses but droplets, 10 to 100 times larger. But yes a properly fitted N95 will stop viruses.

1. What happens when the droplets containing viruses vaporizes, as it will eventually do? You’d still need an airtight mask with a military grade filter, not the virtue signaling blue masks worn where leftists dwell.

2. And where has it been shown that viruses travel only in droplets?

It also restricts air better than cheap masks.
