thanks for the super helpful answer, but i sent you down a rabbit hole because i was talking about these kinds of valved masks:

no non-n95 mask is going to be effective in stopping transmission of the disease, so if i wear a neck gaiter or non-valved mask, i’m still going to be spewing covid everywhere, it’s just going to be harder on me to breathe.
the problem is valved masks like the above are verboten in california. i’m asking how i can keep the valves but disguise them so i don’t get in trouble for it.

If you are going to be spewing covid everywhere, perhaps you should refrain from going to the gym, as you are ill. Self-quarantine.
If you aren’t ill, then you won’t be spewing covid anywhere and mask style and type doesn’t make a damn bit of difference.
