      Example of how the purpose of masks for ordinary people is still not understood. The ones with exhalation valves, including N95s, should not be worn around people, period. Not just in sterile hospital operating rooms as NYT claims. Cotton mask>valved N95.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/health/coronavirus-best-face-masks.html …

      There are two purposes of masks: protect the wearer from infection AND/OR protect others from wearer's potential transmission. For medical workers, both are important. For regular people in most settings, it's about the latter. Cotton mask will do that; an N95 with valve WON'T.

      What about wearing a surgical mask OVER an n95 with a valve? I don’t want my vulnerable parents going out with anything less than an n95.

          Thankyou. I'm >65 and the only support of my entire family including my wife who is disabled from MS and immuno-suppressed. When going out I wear an N95 but have been becoming nervous about Mask Nazis lately.

          Precisely what I was going to add. Also very much depends on the risk factor of the person wearing the mask. To say that surgical masks are better than N95s is too broad a generalisation.
