Your post and source is not the truth about masks:

1) a mask is not a chain link fence and virus particles are not like sand. Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is through aerosol dispersion where virus particles are contained inside varying sizes of micron level droplets. Each droplet can contain between 10 to the 2 and 10 to the 100 virus particles.

2) the mask prevents aerosol droplets from passing through as the droplets impact the fine mesh of these masks. N95 quality masks are able to prevent greater than 99% of aerosol from breathing, coughing and sneezing from passing through when worn and handled correctly.

3) CoV-2 transmission occurs when mucus membranes encounter CoV-2 laden aerosol droplets or direct contact with saliva or other mucus from infected people who are shedding virus particles. Preventing aerosol transmission greatly reduces exposure to Covid-19 transmission.

4) every nation that has effectively contained virus transmission has included mask wearing in its containment protocol. Every nation that has not included mask wearing has had a surge in cases.
