Ive heard different things, read up a bit and am unsure how strong an arguement i can make, as i am not wearing a fucking muzzle.

Size of virus can vary from 20 nm to 500 nm, and mask hole sizes apparently are around 300 nm in size.

And according to "brownian motion" masks work? Or so i read in some research papers..

A coronavirus particle size is about 100 nanometres, or 0.1 microns, in diameter. Cigarette smoke particles can range from about 0.1 - 1.0 microns.

Light up a cigarette and see if you can blow smoke through the mask. Spoiler alert... you can with ease.

Edit: Better yet, just take a drag and exhale as normal through the mask.
