Size of holes in mask vs size of coronavirus

Yes, but if the mosquito needs a car to move around, the fence will be pretty effective at stopping it. DUH.
Would that mosquito happen to be cruising around town in a car that can evaporate before it hits the chain link fence?
Fallacy. There is no choice here, since lefties evade opening posts. That means you can only evade the opening post question.
Luckily for all, it really does not matter. All that matters is stopping the droplets on which the viruses travel. The masks do a fine job of stopping the droplets.
You should teach us all about virology, you're now the self proclaimed expert. And answer the question while your at it.
I did not ask how big droplets are, I asked how big the holes in masks are compared to the size of coronavirus. One absolutely needs to know this information if he is to go any further into the science of how masks protect anybody from coronavirus. No lefty on this thread has been able to post this basic information.
It is completely unimportant. The only important thing is what percent of the viruses are stopped by the mask, and as long as that percent is above zero, it does something.
You don't know shit about the science of masks filtering coronavirus, you only know what CNN told you to believe. You don't even know the size of the holes in masks compared to the size of the virus. Pathetic.
The very first thing one needs to know about filtering something out of the air is the size of what needs to be filtered out and the size of the holes in the filter. All other considerations about the science come AFTER knowing this basic starting point.
I have noticed to really understand a field, it requires about 10 years education in it. Now I do not have 10 years of education in virology, but it is very obviously you have even less. If you want to invest the 10 years in to truly understand this issue, and then get back to me... Fine... Or you can hear an oversimplified, but basically correct explanation for why things work the way they do. What will not work is a specifically detailed demand for information, without any understanding of the surrounding issues.
Clearly masks work. There is no question about that. The question is how well, and how they work.
There is nothing more basic about filtering something than knowing how big the holes are in the filter and the size of what you want to filter. This is as basic as it gets. All other considerations come after knowing this basic starting information.
I know that many filters will attract what you are trying to filter, so the size of the hole is unimportant. With other filters, the holes when lined up will let things through, but that takes time. So it takes time for something to get through. And even other filters are about the percent of things stopped.
And remember, masks are not meant to filter viruses, they are meant to filter the droplets that carry viruses.
The important thing is masks work. You are trying to argue that reality is illogical (by your definition of logic), and therefore is wrong. What you are proving is your logic is wrong.
I have noticed that it only takes seconds or minutes for toddlers to figure out how to put square pegs into square holes, and round pegs into round holes. It shouldn't take ten years for somebody to figure out that filter holes need to be smaller than what they are intended to capture.
There are many considerations in filtering technology and science, but the most basic starting point is the size of what you want to filter and the size of the filter openings. If you can't identify this basic information, you have no business going any further in discussing filtering science.
We identified disease contagion before we identified viruses themselves. Remember, viruses are too small to see on a normal microscope. This is because you do not have to know how something works, to know that it works.
There is currently incomplete information. We do not know how small the droplets that can carry the virus. There has been a new study that says that droplets produced by speaking can carry the disease, which should not be surprising due to the amount of people transmitting the disease without having symptoms.
The idiot is unteachable. Just laugh.
The same pattern continues years later:
“6/30/17
I predict Evmetro will post some babbling piece of bullshit and when people reply to point that out, he will respond with a juvenile “I told you so!”
Thank you in advance for proving me correct.”

Correct. He is a simpleton. 'Hole is smaller than virus, therefore mask does not work'. And then he wants you to speak with authority about why he's wrong. The virus can't escape a mask because the airplane it needs to transport it IS bigger than the hole. Maybe that will sink in. Maybe not. Who cares at the end of the day.
