Viruses are some of the smallest particles on earth, they cannot be viewed without an electron microscope. I have serious doubts about cloth face masks being able to stop them.

The virus travels on droplets of saliva and mucus. If you stop those you stop the virus. You don’t cough out pure virus.

Question: If mask don’t work the why do sugeons use them?

The masks do not have to stop viruses. They only have to stop the droplets containing the viruses, which are much larger than the viruses.

" I have serious doubts about cloth face masks being able to stop them."

You might know that the virus is transported inside the droplets of water that exists with the human breath. You see those droplets on cold days as they show up as a cloud when you exhale. A cotton quilt with batting provides 96 ± 2% (10 nm to 300 nm) and 96.1 ± 0.3% (300 nm to 6 μm) filtration of these droplets. The science on the filtration of various fabrics is done.

Every time I see this argument made on FR, I cringe, and remind myself that its not just Liberals who have faulty thinking.

If a scent passes through your cloth face mask, then all virus’s are getting through
