Hate to let science get in way but air is .383 nanometers. The corona virus is 5 to 20 nanometers, The size of the air molecule is what lets you breathe while wearing a mask but prevents N95 masks from the transmission of most of the virus molecules.

It cannot capture all of it because it not a tight fit on your face.

I have many friends who are nurses and doctors. They were panicking over the lack of available masks. To those who don't want to wear masks do you think they know something you don't?
