The virus, in and of itself is easily small enough to go through a regular mask. But people DO NOT expel single viral RNA strands. They expel a bunch of viral particles in even larger aerosolized droplets, which a mask can stop most of the time if worn properly. However, a mask is very ineffective at stopping a person from GETTING the virus
It would be so convenient, for those of us who are not medical doctors, to have you print your CREDENTIALS when you make statements about a deadly disease. If you are NOT a medical professional at the doctor level, it would be most helpful if you began your statements with : IMO or IMHO. That would help the rest of us interpret your statements as non-professional.
That may go a loooong way in helping us keep cool heads and may even severely damage bad bickering in this forum.
