The virus is smaller than the holes in the mask.
The virus is (though some non-N95 masks have been shown to filter down to .1 microns); but, its "vehicle" is not. Most transmission takes place via droplets much larger and those get caught by the mask material. Basic surgical masks have been shown to be highly effective at filtration (over 80% I believe in some studies).

Social distancing is 90% of it.
I would agree.

Eta - I'm not necessarily down on masks. I am down on people not having freedom. I think masks should be a choice.
I understand and I respect that. I'm kinda in TM's zone on this. I do it on the off chance it helps. I'm happy to listen to people smarter than me when it comes to medical stuff, my wife being one of those. The majority of them support masks, though I know there are outliers. I won't shame anyone over not wearing one, but I'll avoid them if inside. I just think it's unfortunate how this became a political issue.

It became a political issue as soon as the Chinese government allowed thousands of its infected citizens to take international flights out of Wuhan eventually infecting the entire world. But apparently due to China's vast wealth and influence, it has no culpability for its irresponsible possibly subversive management of the Covid-19 outbreak.

Here's a "study" that goes over it.
Yes, it may contain droplets. Virus still floats through and wanders through the air.
As for the N95s and such people are wearing, if you haven't been fitted for it, there's no way to know it's really doing anything. Masks are like shoes. They aren't adjustable. Putting a side 14 on a size 9 fit will cover it but it doesn't really fit.
