Also the fact that IN REALITY NOBODY WEARS MASKS THE WAY THE MODELS ASSUME — the mask is contaminated far beyond anything allowed in these theoretical models the very first time you adjust it , cough in it, take it off, or wear it more than a couple hours, and as soon as that happens, ANY protection it afforded is REVERSED and it does more harm than good, even using their overly optimistic theory!
Not to mention it only stops "droplets" containing the virus. If any viral material becomes detached from the droplets, they're smaller than the n95 mask can stop.
Actually, most droplets are, too. This whole thing is a sham.
FYI, it is fit tested using particulates to guarantee at least 95%. It's the minimum you can have and still pass. You can hypothetically get a perfect seal and get 99%+ but that's not the testing standard. Every time I get fit tested with the aerosol generator, I get a >99% readout on the machine.
Now do cloth masks
^This^
It is all bullshit and everyone knows it.

You are forgetting 2 things though: Length of breath and the size of the mouth. Generally it could be even greater than the image number.
Some smooth brain is gonna read “breath” as “breathe”. 😬

So if 96% of the particles your body is exhausting as waste PER BREATH cannot leave where do they go?
They leave through the mask. The mask only stops small particles.
Unless you're talking cloth masks, which do nothing at all, besides increasing your chance of bacterial pneumonia.

I read that as "perv breath", like when biden is creeping behind you.
