Because respiratory viruses are carried in aerosol droplets and fart smells are carried by individual molecules. Aerosol droplets are about 10,000 times larger than molecules.
A screen that just filters out a Boeing 737 will let a BB through.
Hope that clears it up.

Dude, I will put my molecules up against your aerosol any day.
So to speak anyway.
