No, there is no mask that will do as you claim. A full hazmat suit with oxygen would though. Let’s all get those.

N95 = 95% of particles of 0.3 microns. Individual virus particles are as small as 0.125 microns. But most are transmitted via larger droplets.

It will do more than nothing, and a lot more in controlled uses.

That's a red herring. It takes 1000 or more virus particle exposure to infect a healthy person. Fewer for unhealthy, but still a large number. The mask stops a large percentage. Cheaper masks stop a smaller percentage. CLoth masks do alnost nothing. In some cases studies show masks were worse than nothing probably due to improper handling. I talked about this last summer and put notes in my profile. Lots of misconceptions. Lots of red herrings like yours (we need to stop every particle using a hazmat suit). I reject it all. But I also think the general use of masks is pointless, based on all the studies I read.
