Yeah... that's bull shit... that's what else...I gave you the link...but if you just want the relevant excerpt, here it is....You're the one that made the initial claim the virus needs to be on spit to travel through the air.You are wrong.Prove it... let's have a link that shows scientific proof that the virus HAS to be on a spittle droplet of 1 micron or larger to travel through the air...It's not what you don't know...it's what you know that ain't so.MASKS are mostly used to filter DUST and BACTERIA, NOT VIRUSES, because dust and bacteria is much LARGER than a virus.
Do you know why they call the exalted N-95 mask an N-95%? Because it will filter 95% of known BACTERIA, but NOT A VIRUS, not to mention the 15% it LEAKS around your face.
You people with your MASK bull shit are absolutely being BRAIN WASHED. You are IGNORANT BEYOND WORDS. Those home made cloth masks are doing NOTHING... NOTHING... you hear me... NOOOOTHING in the way of protecting you against COVID 19, A VIRUS. It will come RIGHT OUT of someone's mouth that's wearing one, and right INTO YOUR NOSE OR MOUTH WHILE YOU'RE WEARING ONE. How STUPID can you be? Have you NOT SEEN THE PAGES UPON PAGES OF PROOF POSTED HERE, OVER AND OVER?
Good God people... FUCK your masks. Stick them where the sun don't.
But if you REALLY, REALLY REALLY, want to wear a MASK THAT WORKS, THIS is what you need, PERIOD...
I thought this at first as well...but it turns out the virus never travels alone. It travels as part of a droplet that is about 1 micron in size.
So lots of masks can block the virus.
I'll wait...
The covid virus particle can and does, very easily, float on it's own. It needs no host to float, as anything that small does float.
Fact check: No, N95 filters are not too large to stop COVID-19 particles
This attempt to discredit a central piece of protective gear used around the globe fails to account for several fundamental scientific principles.www.usatoday.com
Now prove it.
"Virus particles don’t exist alone
...The COVID-19 particle is indeed around 0.1 microns in size, but it is always bonded to something larger.
“There is never a naked virus floating in the air or released by people,” said Linsey Marr, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Tech who specializes in airborne transmission of viruses."
Anything else?
If you don't believe that, it's now up to you to prove that it is false.
I'm willing to listen.
Can COVID-19 Spread Through the Air?
Based on guidance from the CDC and WHO, we have been treating COVID-19 like other germs that spread through respiratory droplets caused by sneezing and coughing, but can the virus also travel in the air and spread infection just through breathing or talking?

What’s the difference between droplet, airborne, and aerosol spread?
Respiratory droplets can contain large amounts of virus and are released when an infected person sneezes, coughs, or talks. These droplets are too large and heavy to stay in the air for more than a few seconds and quickly settle out of the air onto surfaces. Because of gravity this is usually within 6 feet, but how far they go can depend on the force of the sneeze or cough.
Airborne infections can spread through air through residue from evaporated droplets or on dust particles. They are much smaller and lighter than droplets so they can stay in the air for long periods of time, in some cases even hours. The key to infections that spread though the airborne route is that they have to be able to survive for long periods outside of the body without drying out and dying off. Infections like measles, chickenpox, and tuberculosis are known to spread through the airborne route, making them highly contagious.
Defining aerosols gets even murkier. It’s somewhere between free-floating airborne viruses and much larger droplets. Aerosols can be described as a tiny virus-filled mist that allows virus to hang in the air and travel further than droplets. Now, there is some evidence that this new coronavirus can spread through aerosols, even when people have no symptoms.
