They travel inside respiratory droplets, which are many times larger. It's the droplets that are easily caught by masks. https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2020/06/417906/still-confused-about-masks-heres-science-behind-how-face-masks-prevent https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/10/30/science/wear-mask-covid-particles-ul.html

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1389175119248044036
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
