The virus doesn't pass freely through any mask. It is restricted to passing through via moisture droplets. That's why it is important to maintain a social distance WHILE wearing a mask. So that someone else's breath (which contains moisture), sneeze, cough, or spittle when they talk, won't land on the mask.
