hat some of their sneezes will get to your mouth and nose and will pass into your system

right, and this brings into focus the issue of "viral load".

It turns out that whether you get infected, and how severe the infection is, has a lot to do with how many virii you are actually hit with in a short period of time.

In infection disease parlance, this is termed "viral load".

Your immunie system is reasonably competent. Only when it is _overwhelmed_ by an infectious agent do you get syptoms.

So by blocking most of the viral load of an exposure event, the immune system has a much better chance of fighting off an infection, or at least signficantly reducing or completely preventing sysmptoms, severity, and duration.

I had a good friend who was one of the top infectious disease MDs in CA. (passed away a few years ago from ovarian cancer).
