I don't care about their fucking wording, and I've mistakenly improvised my own when I shouldn't have given all the linguistic trickery that is at play here. Whether we call them droplets or aerosol doesn't even matter. The droplets, or aerosol that come from your breath, are between .5µm to 2µm, depending on what you're doing, and the pores of a paper mask are around 10µm. This does nothing. A 4 year old can see that.
N95 masks have a pore size of around 1µm, which means they *might* block some of the fluid of your breath.
But actually, neither do, because you would need an air tight seal around the edges of the mask where it meets your face. It's like you all don't even know how air flows through a 3d space. Children.
This would be like if I was underwater, bleeding from the mouth, and I tried to put a mask over my face to stop it. If you visualize this, it's basically the same thing going on with the fluid of you breath in the air, but far easier to visualize.
Masks are used by surgeons to stop big, pretty much visual, drops to globs of spit. Especially where you see them wearing mere paper ones, because this is literally, going by their pore size, the very most they could hope to achieve. Even if the pore size is smaller, it flows around, because especially where the 'droplets' or 'aerosol' particles, or however you choose to term them, are particularly small, they flow through the air, like a gas, vapor, or as I suggested in the visualization, blood in water, around your mask, and out into the room. Masks are not useful. If you wore them and went around lagging on people, you are a helpful little fascist, for fascist tyrannical governments and a fool.
