I doubt it took 30 minutes for that Maine Coon to map the place, figure out the cat doors, and hang out above the upstairs hdtv. No crowds tho'. They steer clear. Probably why it doesn't show up in any of the multi-player photos.

A single virion of SARS-COV-2 is about 125nm. Approximately the same size as a single particle of smoke. N95 masks are supposed to be 95% effective for particle sizes 100-300nm in size. It also means that 5% get through. Not sure about RSV
