"Corona-19 is 1/10th of a micron across, which is smaller." People seem to have a huge misunderstanding about how viruses travel through air (which is how you get stupid memes like this[1]). There aren't isolated viruses floating around passing through spaces 1/10th of a micron or larger. They need a medium of which to travel upon (such as saliva droplets) that are much larger than the virus itself[2] (usually 5-10 microns) 1. https://starecat.com/content/wp-content/uploads/im-wearing-this-mask-to-keep-the-virus-out-of-my-body-im-building-this-fence-to-keep-the-mosquitos-out-of-my-yard.jpg https://starecat.com/content/wp-content/uploads/im-wearing-t... 2. https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/04/03/825639323/scientists-probe-how-coronavirus-might-travel-through-the-air https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/04/03/8256393...
