I agree that some particulate matter in the air that is larger than 2.5 microns contains viruses, as does some that is smaller.

Please provide some data as to how many virus particles we inhale in particles larger than 2.5 microns and in particles smaller than 2.5 microns.

I am not aware of anyone having that data, therefore COVID-19 masks seem like guesswork without sufficient science to back them up.
