Blocks 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns.

Too bad the coronavirus is .12 micron. Minor little insignificant details make up the bulk of science, but hey.

Yes, but how is it transported? In droplets, which are much larger. It doesn't matter how tiny the virus is, it's the transport mechanism that counts. That's why P100/N100/HEPA-class air filitration is the gold standard worldwide against respiratory virus transmission.

There's a "minor little insignificant detail" right there!

Science actually doesn't know how any virus is transported, much less COVID.

Can you cite any study confirming that that mask, or any other, actually blocks virus transmission? Thx

Just Google it, there's tons of stuff, it's standard knowledge in the medical and military world, that's why doctors, nurses and soldiers worldwide all wear this type of filter in threating environments and have for decades.

Fine, I was just wondering if you happened to know of a study saying any mask actually prevents viral transmission. Because all the studies I can find say the opposite.
