Why do people not accept that the masks stop droplets and the droplets spread the virus? That doesn’t seem hard to understand.

Obviously you haven't been reading, A virus and Virons are at least 1000 times Smaller than Bacteria at .1 Microns, Only a spacesuit will protect you from them NOT A MASK, and Virons actually stay suspended in the air and are not susceptible to the Wells Evaporation theory.

Wearing a Mask to prevent the transmission of a VIRUS is comparable to having Chain Link Fencing for a Screen Door to keep out the flies.

"Wearing a Mask to prevent the transmission of a VIRUS is comparable to having Chain Link Fencing for a Screen Door to keep out the flies."

Totally bogus meme. You will NEVER, EVER have a single, bare, viral particle floating around in the air.

ALL viable viral particles start out in the salt water "soup" that is the human body. When some physical process (coughing, sneezing, talking) dislodges some of that "soup", it is in the form of a small liquid drop that is far larger than a single virus particle.

That drop probably contains a number of virus particles, as well as salt, and many other dissolved body chemicals (proteins, and much else). Most of these microdrops are well within the filterable range of masks.

As the water in the aqueous microdrop evaporates, the particle STILL contains all that salt and other chemicals, so even the dried particle is far larger that a single virus entity.
