And you are dead right. Surgical FACE MASKS are pretty useless. One needs a proper RESPIRATOR, rated N95 or better . Something like this (3M makes very good units):Useless without sealed eye protection as well as knowing that micro-droplets coming from the mouth/nose infected person haven't landed on your face, hair, arms or hands.
That's a major reason why face masks are useless unless you already are infected. They serve to keep those micro-droplets from spraying outward. They do next to nothing in keeping you healthy.

Sadly, if one tries to find N95 masks today? Nope - all sold out, out of stock . The few that are available are now in the "price gouging" category - mostly on EBAY .
Truly, all of this is risk mitigation - not risk prevention. Risk prevention is "stay home", have groceries delivered, and spray 'em down with bleach (joke - you don't want to ingest bleach) .
