I have stayed far away from the corona stuff the past few months, but the topic of masks won't fucking go away.

Can someone simply answer me this: why is a mask useless for preventing water droplets from your mouth spreading to other surfaces?

I'm assuming the virus is still transferred via water droplets, not air. I'm not taking a stand here, I would just like this answered. I know surgical masks aren't made for filtering air, that's not the point.

The virus is something like .01 microns in size. N95 only filters down to .03 microns. How can a mask block something smaller than it's rated to block?

I'm still waiting for a source on the air transfer part.

You just reddit 😂https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article In case you need another source: this is the CDC - click on the link that leads to methods and results

Forgive the pun. The redditor in me still shines through every now and then
