What I got out of the article I linked to was that the virus can attach to ANY size particle and travel WAY further than they originally thought.
So maybe even "real" masks can't stop the virus from getting through. But I'm still going to wear one because in seems to me that they would at least slow it down or decrease the amount.
I am now WAY more aware of paths of infection and taking precautions such as avoiding people, cutting down on visits to public places, washing my hands more, etc.
So it may not have been the mask that prevented me from getting a cold... could have been any of the above... or just luck!
