I read that the NEJM released a report that said scientists had come to a consensus that the Diameter of the 2019 nCoV particles vary from 0.06 to 0.14 microns. The article also says that the N95 mask is capable of filtering out particles as small as .3 microns. Is this true ? If True, why are we wearing masks ? If true, why are doctors and scientists directing us to wear masks ?

The above statistics echo Dr Oskoui ‘s assertion that wearing a mask is like using a chain link fence to keep out a mosquito. I didn’t want to quote the exact stats if they are wrong. I can send you the excerpt from the news report.
Huh?
