For anyone who wants to understand: yes, a virus is smaller than the gaps in a N95 or N99 mask (although it is usually attached to something larger, such as dust). The way they get blocked is because the synthetic fibers in the mask are deliberately electrically charged during the manufacturing process and will attract and trap it.
A well-fitted N95 mask will filter out at least 95%, however, if someone wears it and spends time in a room with ten people who all are positive and each one of them is spreading about 150 virus particles with every breath of theirs (or more if they speak), the N95 will help but not a lot. However, the mask is not defective, it was incorrectly used!

As for those who don’t mind catching the virus and don’t mind spreading it to others and possibly harming them, just stay far away from me and my family.
