Second, virii don't just float around all by their lonesome like pollen does, they travel via droplets of liquid, like snot or blood or mucus. And a mask is good at blocking those liquids, even in very tiny, tiny droplets.
Science Experiment you can try at home: Get a condom. Fill it with helium until it floats. Wait a week. Does the condom still float? If not, where did the helium go? OMG IF HELIUM ATOMS CAN GET THROUGH THE CONDOM SURELY AIDS CAN TOO!!!1!!
I love this board, but the fucking lack of basic science understanding is really staggering at times.
First off, virus > molecule. By a lot.
