If I remember correctly, I said the N95 mask is designed to filter particles down to 0.3 microns in size with 95% efficiency. The covid 19 virus averages 0.125 microns in size. That means the covid 19 virus particles are almost 3 times smaller than the smallest particles the N95 mask was designed to filter.

N-95 Mask
.3 microns: The masks filter out contaminants like dusts, mists and fumes. The minimum size of .3 microns of particulates and large droplets won’t pass through the barrier, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC.)

You know, I am unable to find an article that would be accepted by both sides, that gives the size of the covid 19 virus particle in micron. I am just seeing a lot of conflicting information on its size, and the size of the particles that would carry the virus...

The CDC has something on coronavirus size but it dates back to 2019, before Covid...

Therefore I am unable to crosscheck any of the information given by either sides.

But you won’t, because the spread helps your political lies that you continue to push.

Who exactly are you talking to here? Giving a name would be helpful and would avoid confusion.

And here is what we know about the Coronavirus virions. The New England Journal of Medicine released a report which suggested that scientists were at a consensus that the diameter of the 2019-nCoV particles varied from about 60 to 140 nm—that means as small as 0.06 microns all the way to 0.14 microns.

The 'average' size of the covid 19 virus particle is established at 0.125 microns in size.

..............................

Whilst N95 masks from different producers may have slightly different specifications, the protective capabilities offered by N95 masks are largely attributed to the masks’ obligation to remove at least 95% of all particles with an average diameter of 300 nm, 0.30 microns, or less.

Thank you, Jwhop for this article. Yes it is dated March 2020, but it seems to be based on sound science.
