The virus does not travel by itself. The virus is encapsulated in droplets and/or aerosols. Those droplets and aerosols are HUGE compared to the minuscule size of the virus. THIS is why universal masking with NON N95 masks are effective for source control. Those non N95 masks are not effective for protecting the wearer. Hasn’t this been established already for well over a year? Why in the world are we even discussing this at this point in time of this pandemic? Oh, I know. It is because of your comment about the size of the virus particles.
