Basically when you read what the CDC says about surgical masks, they say they are not designed for respiratory illness protection.
"Does not provide the wearer a reliable level of protection from inhaling smaller airborne particles and is not considered respiratory protection".
I would point out on the N95s it requires fit testing. I lay money most people haven't got fit tested.
It also requires a seal check. I lay money most people don't know how to do that.
Why? Because with N95s medical professionals have to be trained how to actually use them.
Anyway....the CDC points out below surgical masks are not intended to be used as protection for a respiratory virus.
But then again for those who have been watching, that info has been in the public domain now for many years.
