Original Note:
Viruses cannot travel in the air on their own and must be carried by respiratory droplets, which are much larger than smoke particles or pores in fabric. Therefore, cloth masks are effective at reducing virus transmission as they block respiratory droplets. https://www.poynter.org/?ifcn_misinformation=cloth-masks-cannot-block-smoke-particles-which-are-larger-than-viruses-so-masks-cannot-stop-the-spread-of-the-virus
